Construction - Construction materials - Bricks and blocks - Aerated concrete blocks

Aerated concrete blocks are lightweight but durable building materials used to build walls, partitions and other structures. They are made from a fine mixture of cement, sand, lime and aluminum powder, to which water is added and which is then hardened in an autoclave. Aerated concrete blocks are particularly suitable for energy-efficient buildings, due to their excellent thermal insulation properties, as well as their light weight, which facilitates installation and reduces the load on the building foundation.

Types of Aerated Concrete Blocks:

Load-bearing blocks – with greater strength, suitable for external walls and load-bearing structures.

Partition blocks – lighter and thinner, designed for internal non-load-bearing walls.

Reinforcement blocks – with built-in reinforcements for greater strength and stability.

Thermal insulation blocks – designed for additional insulation of facades and external walls.

Aerated concrete blocks have several advantages:

Thermal insulation – high energy efficiency, which reduces heating and cooling costs.

Light weight – facilitates transportation and installation, as well as reduces the load on the foundation.

Dimensional accuracy – allows for quick and precise construction with minimal mortar consumption.

Fire safety – aerated concrete blocks are non-combustible and withstand up to 4 hours at high temperatures.

Breathable structure – the blocks provide good moisture regulation, reducing the formation of condensation and the risk of mold.

Environmental friendliness – made from natural materials and are environmentally friendly.

Aerated concrete blocks are used for various types of structures, from private houses to multi-storey residential buildings and industrial facilities. They can be used for load-bearing walls, partitions, external walls and even for insulating energy-efficient building facades.
