Why do I have all the advantages of aerated concrete, he recently began to conquer the market of building materials? The fact that the earlier people especially do not save on electricity and the plant was producing only heavy concrete and brick. In the young contemporary material nobody believed, not paying attention to its benefits and popularity in Western countries. Even now, while the bulk of aerated concrete in Russia is produced by German equipment. And besides, one can not restrict ourselves only to gas concretes, because developers have figured out how to produce material for all occasions: each has its own characteristics and intended use.
Cellular concrete, in terms of economy and convenience, ideal for the erection of houses of cottage type (at least 200 square meters. M) for permanent residence. In aerated concrete low threshold of breaking strength, and unlike wood – it can crack. To avoid this trouble, there is a technology of construction of the foundation that is building a house should be performed on the monolithic strip foundations or basement of heavy concrete. This implies a large expense, but the savings in this case definitely does not follow. It is not necessary to deal with cellular concrete, if you can not provide a firm foundation.
Aerated concrete can also be used as a filler for the walls of frame structures. Then the whole burden will fall on the skeleton. But as a rule, frame construction using cellular concrete – a prerogative of high-rise buildings and cottages are not suitable.
It should be noted that the porous concrete is inappropriate for the erection of houses too small for an expensive foundation. Yes, and the thickness of the walls of buildings for mini-high (0.5 meters). At low density cellular concrete. If, however, try to increase the density – that he will lose the ability to retain heat and"breathe." Buildings made of cellular concrete – a good option for people who are looking to build a big enough house for permanent living and optimally reduce costs.
