Advantages of houses from foam concrete blocks

Foam concrete blocks are a construction material made from foam concrete (a variety of cellular concrete). Foam concrete is made of sand, water of the foaming agent and cement mortar. Receive foam concrete by mechanical mixing of a concrete mixture with pre -prepared foam. Air bubbles that are formed in the process are evenly distributed around the entire perimeter of concrete. According to their operational characteristics, foam blocks are comparative with wood, but they are more durable and have the best coefficient of thermal insulation. Thanks to the porous structure, foam concrete blocks can maintain a favorable indoor microclimate. This building material has high indicators from an ecological point of view, and not a fuel. It should be noted that in foam concrete, unlike aerated concrete, the pores are closed, which practically reduces the risk of deformation and occurrence, this is due to the fact that this building material has a low coefficient of water absorption.
