Why it is necessary to build a house of aerated concrete?
Warm, comfortable and affordable aerated concrete a revolution in housing construction as early as the 1930s. Famous home of the Bauhaus project is already built out of it, while in Moscow for 58 years there are a few houses from gazoblokov 1960 years of construction.
What are the advantages aerocrete?
- high strength material (gazoblok "baked" at 200 degrees Celsius and break it into two very problematic);
- A light weight: Block 375 * 200 * 600 mm and weighs 25 kg. Yes considerable weight, but then immediately block has a length of 60 cm;
- Thermal insulation: when building a house of aerocrete 375 mm thick insulation not required. This is ensured by its porous structure;
- Easy to install: gazoblok convenient sawing, sanding and drilling;
- Environmentally friendly: gazoblok made of lime, sand and water;
- frost-resistance - 120 or higher cycles.
- results: Gazoblok cheaper and warmer than the brick and keramzitobloka, more convenient to assemble and does not require much knowledge of styling.
The main "negative" aerocrete - his "capriciousness" to the water: it is necessary for 3-4 days
during construction time to rain, and serves Gazoblok green fungus. However, this applies only to the stage of stacking the blocks, when the house is covered with a roof.This is achieved by accurate block size and a thin layer of adhesive (2-4 mm).
