The unpleasant truth about aerated concrete, which manufacturers are silent about

Dazo concrete is becoming one of the most popular building materials. It is understandable: it is cheap, you can lay it yourself, the blocks are large (you don’t need to break up like with a brick). In general, the pluses are a dime a dozen.

ATfrom only among gentlemen it is not customary to talk about the disadvantages of aerated concrete. Manufacturers are especially careful about them.. To my direct question: does aerated concrete get wet (in a smart way, what is the water absorption coefficient), all manufacturers look sideways. Shy ...

But in the video below, they did not hesitate and conducted an experiment. Look if you are thinking of using a gas block in a construction site.

Ethen I'm all for what. Not that aerated concrete is a bad material. No, he's cool, really. It is convenient to put it, it is very, very warm (after all, an autoclave), it looks nice. And you can hang shelves on it - it will withstand everything even without chemical anchors.

I showed you this video in order for you to understand an important nuance. Aerated concrete must be plastering outside and inside in order to protect it from moisture.

WITHTena from an unplastered aerated concrete block with oblique sprinkling of water will saturate mom-do not-grieve, you will be tortured to drain. The question is, why do you need a blotter instead of a wall?

In general, when building a house, a shed, a guest house from a gas block, do not be lazy and do not skimp on the finishing coat. This is important and should be included in the estimate. Manufacturers claim that their blocks are the cheapest building material, but inferior as such - they need a finishing coat.
