The use of foam blocks of the D600 brand and their quality characteristics
Foam blocks belong to light building materials, from which you can build a small cottage and a large estate. Actually, foam blocks are relatively cheap materials with excellent characteristics in environmental cleanliness, sound protection, thermal insulation and water resistance. The composition of the foam block includes cement, sand and special foam, which, when mixed from cements, sand and water, turns them into a solid concrete block.
The dimensions and weight of foam blocks range in certain sizes that are needed for the construction of different buildings. The standard foam block is 200x300x600mm. Foam blocks are well succumbing to manual processing. Foam block can be cut with a regular file or hacksaw. It can be easily drilled, nails into it and screw the screws. Penoblock can withstand heavy loads. For example, the fo -block of the brand D600 is withstanding a load of 25 kg per 1 cm. sq.
Foam concrete has higher properties of thermal protection and sound insulation than other types of concrete blocks. An increase in these properties is acquired at the expense of its internal porous structure, which is closed inside the foam block, unlike aerated concrete in which the pores come out. The most consumed in the construction of residential buildings use foam blocks of the brand D600. There are two main types of foam blocks: molds and cut. The production of mold foam blocks is carried out by pouring concrete mixture in dimensional forms. And the cut foam blocks are made by cutting on concrete blocks of large concrete massive plates.
