TEPLOBLOK - characteristics of the material, personal experience
Besides homogeneous masonry materials such as brick or different blocks on the basis of cement, in recent years, among the privateers gaining popularity and composite. Craftsmen portal FORUMHOUSE tried a relatively new walling - TEPLOBLOK.
TEPLOBLOK - characteristics, features, scope
Teploehffektivnyh unit, abbreviated TEPLOBLOK consists of three layers:
- Structural (carrier) - aerated block of expanded clay, density 1300-1500 kg / mᶟ.
- Insulating - polystyrene (EPS) or extruded polystyrene (Epps), 150-200 mm thick.
- Oblitsovochny (decorative) - a thin block of expanded clay or concrete (average 50 mm) characterized by increased density, strength and resistance to frost; surface mimics curly or smooth brick, natural stone.
TEPLOBLOK produced by two methods - vibrocast or vibropressing:
- Vibrocast - mounted in a matrix of insulation liner, the liquid solution is poured into the mold and the processing is carried on the vibrating table to complete seal block.
- Vibrocompression - vibropress in solution form with a semi-mounted liner is filled, the unit simultaneously exposed to vibration and pressure.
Blocks produced by vibrocompression after molding were placed in a heat chamber for finishing, vibratory casting dry naturally.
It is believed that a more robust and durable blocks come from the press.
Between the layers are joined not only by adhesion - manufacturers use special binder, it may be plastic, fiberglass rods or basalt. Producing TEPLOBLOK and additional voids in the functional layer, in which during the laying fixture is installed and filled with mortar.
The facing layer is at both the original gray and colored, the plant can be ordered virtually any hue.
The main advantages include a minimum thermal conductivity of blocks, whereby the wall thickness of 30-40 cm in need of additional insulation, and having a finishing layer. Facade obtained immediately and does not require a decorative facing, plaster or various hinged screens. Furthermore, the carrier block part of lightweight concrete mass substantially reduces design, eliminating the need for strip foundations. As for the speed of erection, also attributable to the advantages of the material, it is inherent and other categories of block and depends largely on the skill of the performers. The same can be said about the minimum flow rate of the solution - a thin seam characteristic of arbolita, and gazosilikata warm or ceramics, and whether it will do so depends on the geometry of the master and blocks.
Not without flaws, the main one being called harmful polystyrene, battles on the subject which did not cease. Perhaps PPP - not the most environmentally friendly of the heaters, but he closed the base layer and the interior trim, and a thermos effect inherent in such homes, leveled a good ventilation system. Far more complaints from users to unscrupulous manufacturers whose products can boast "walk" geometry, reduced strength and the other "the amenities" associated with impaired technologies.
To avoid buying such heatblock, you must pay more attention to the choice and trust only their own eyes, hands and certificates for products.
The main application TEPLOBLOK - low-rise private construction, it is not only at home but also various outbuildings. Blocks for additional reinforcement, can be used for masonry buildings taller, but the "candle" speech, of course, does not go.
As I built the house of TEPLOBLOK
A detailed description of the construction of the house of heatblock and their perceptions of its operation is one of the craftsmen of our portal with the nickname Skazochnik14I laid out in the same name theme.
Skazochnik14 (User FORUMHOUSE):
At first I did not know from which to build a house, but by chance I saw the house of TEPLOBLOK, stuff like. I stopped at the construction site, questioned and decided to build a house of heatblock. In the first place - the house is supposed to be very warm, and secondly, the savings in finishing works outside TEPLOBLOK already lined with beautiful, thirdly - economy on the facade insulation works and painting.
In the production of made calculations on the basis of the project, I ordered a craftsman wall, corner blocks and a quarter chose coloring for base - concrete tile with the texture, like blocks, with fastening on plugs. The promised due date - month, in reality, did not meet in two blocks instead of October were ready only in May. Of the advantages - no problems with storage, a hundred thousand of the penalty and free shipping. Of the minuses - different batches of different cladding hue, gamma is one, but the intensity is different, had to solve this problem in the process of laying. To further save money, bought all winter lumber (board 150x150 and dyuymovka).
Foundation - insulation tape 1 meter deep bedding with compacted sand and gravel pad, warming PSB plates. In the past the construction season laid basement of expanded clay and left to spend the winter.
Box - the walls began to build in May, because the foundation was not originally tied to the wall materials, seam thickness on different walls ranged from 5 to 10 mm. This led to problems with masonry formula - purchased adhesive foam is not designed for such fluctuations, so it became mixed with the cement, as the seams zapenivalis assembly foam. cement additive proved to efflorescence on the masonry.
Roof - grooves under logs in blocks of propylene grinder, all seams carefully zapenili, floor beams craftsman of glued boards. The project provides low roof, and although, according to the discussion participants, one-story house in an area of 130 m², it looks organic, Skazochnik14 He believes that the horse needed to raise. As roofing craftsman chosen metal roofing sheet with 0.5 mm thickness.
energy efficiency parameters - not only do the walls are made of a material thermal efficiency, heat loss at home depend on the parameters of insulation slabs and the tightness of windows and doors. The house has a large proportion of glazing to reduce the outflow of heat through the window, choose energy-saving windows.
Skazochnik14:
The house has lots of windows, but because I wanted to save the maximum heat, they paid special attention to. Installed windows 74 mm thick, with two energy-efficient windows, warm frame and filled with argon, plus the average glass booking - A3.
Initially the floor and loft have warmed insulator mineral wool slab thickness of 200 mm, for the floor that was enough for a little loft that showed check imager. Attic overlap have warmed even layer of mineral wool 200 mm thick.
To further improve the energy efficiency of homes, Skazochnik14 arranged precoat forced ventilation through a heat exchanger. Buried at the site at a depth of two meters IPA pipe section of 160 mm, length of line - 50 meters. According to the calculation it had 60, but the site is compact, the outlet pipe in the socket. As shown by the winter testing, it worked out.
Skazochnik14:
Week watching the ground heat exchangers. When the air temperature outside the house to -15⁰S air supplied stably + 7⁰S. Last night was -20⁰S, I make measurements, the inlet air temperature dropped to two degrees. The result is very happy! Then plan out of the ground heat exchanger connected to the heat exchanger.
Further, that the absence of heat losses through the walls confirmed imager blocks proven efficacy and wintering partial heating. When the stacked film fifteen squares infrared floor heating, about a half watt power, the temperature in the building does not fall below ten degrees. And this with the total area of one hundred and thirty squares and unfinished interior decoration.
However, two freeze-thaw cycle reveal the past and some of the features heatblock.
- Even carefully missed the outside seams - not a guarantee of integrity, after the onset of frost inside some blocks become colder and different even visually. The problem was solved in drilling the seam and problem areas additional foaming.
- To avoid wicking precipitation and subsequent blotting wall joints must overwrite, as an option - use unravel in masonry. It's easier than passing a spatula around the facade, and even pick up the grout in the color blocks.
At the moment almost completed decoration, mounted film warm floor in addition to solid fuel fired boilers. I selected material handyman happy, but stresses that the energy-efficient house - is not only warm the walls, but also high-quality thermal insulation of the entire structure, plus a ventilation system with heat recovery.
