What I expect from my home? I give reason for your choice.
Any opinion I have formed on the basis of some theory and practice necessary. But in this case, I will never believe it was finally right.
I continue to build his house of aerated concrete. Now I have a little break at the construction site related to other things, and so have time to philosophize.
The main question that interests me lately - it why so many opponents of aerated concrete as a structural material?
It arose from the many comments to my previous articlesWhere some spoke of him not very good.
But most of all, I hate when it does not reinforce my opinion with some facts, but rather concrete examples.
Therefore, we will investigate.
What I need from home? It is important, from which I came in choosing the material for walls.
1️⃣ Sufficient strength.
Many people here are looking for aerated concrete on one side only. When the block can be cut with a hacksaw, easy to drill, then Of course there are questions about its reliability. But one needs to understand that you need from the walls?
❗ I need them to stand!
And based on the compressive strength, aerated exactly able to withstand homes. And this is the main option for me.
And when the opinion was expressed that the aerated concrete will stand for 10-15 years... Well, from this data? I have seen and brick house, which stood for 20 years did not, and now no one can be made of brick to build?
This is the problem with many peopleWhen one sad experience becomes a reference point for the whole life. And what about the many positive examples of the use of aerated concrete, and that the reliability of the walls depends not only on the material from which they are made, no one is interested.
2️⃣ Insulation.
On this parameter aerated concrete has a good performance. The main thing is to consider the ratio of the density and thickness of the walls:
More density - thickness of the wall, and vice versa.
3️⃣ Security.
The fact that the aerated concrete is an environmentally friendly material that can be understood on its composition. There has long been no doubt.
When I was at the stage of selection, for me it was very important, and fire safety.
✅ fact that aerated concrete does not burn - it is clear, you can try to set fire. In the house it is important fire resistance material, those. the ability for a long time be exposed to high temperatures while maintaining its properties.
So recently came across a video where Aerated analysis was performed after a real fire. 5 hours under the influence of fire, and loses its original gazoblok bearing capacity is only 20 mm in outer layer blocks. Those. on the strength of the building as a whole is not affected.
4️⃣ durability.
Of course everyone wants to have their house stood for many decades, and has remained descendants. But at the same time, a feeling that many are guided by some of the fortress, which stand for centuries. Therefore it is necessary to build or 200 years, or nothing to bother.
With such views, now generally neizchego build.
Here each selects for itself. But personally, I not thinkwhat will happen to my house in 50 years. I build it for yourself now to live in the present, based on the current of my situation. In this aerated suits me in all respects.
✅ I did not call only build of aerated concrete, but something that can be built from it - that's for sure.
This here is the opinion of a beginner ...
