Types of foundations
It must be said that such building material is most often used to build various kinds of foundations, as well as basements, garages, houses, hangars, household blocks and a large number of different other structures. Delivery and installation of such expanded clay concrete blocks is carried out strictly manually without using various kinds of construction equipment. Wall -like expanded clay concrete blocks have unsurpassed thermal insulation properties, as well as extremely low weight (if you compare them, for example, with sand concrete). That is why when using various kinds of wall blocks, a decrease in the load on the foundation is also ensured. The advantages are environmental friendliness. I must say that expanded clay blocks are made on the basis of specialized material, namely: expanded clay (the so -called burned natural clay), as well as sand, water and cement. Due to the fact that any chemical components, as well as various additives in the process of creating blocks are not added, such blocks are also sometimes called boblocks;- excellent heat- and sound insulation. Due to the fact that such blocks have a fairly large porosity, they have excellent soundproofing, as well as thermal insulation characteristics. That is why the use of such material will reduce the loss of thermal energy in the house by about 75%;-lightness. The specific weight of such a block is less than that of brick, which is due to the fact that expanded clay concrete block contains less cement;- strength. Although expanded clay concrete blocks have extremely low weight, they are very, very strong. In addition, they are also fire -resistant, and also have a high protection against the influence of various kinds of atmospheric factors.
