Despite the huge variety of building materials that have appeared recently, to this day, the good old claydite concrete is very popular among builders of all "calibres". However, it is understandable: having a relatively low cost, strong and reliable blocks cannot but attract the attention of developers.
All expanded clay concrete
blocks, reviews of which confirm this, have excellent soundproofing characteristics, remarkably retain heat. Thanks to their precise geometric shapes, you will need to spend much less effort and time when
building a house.In addition, their same quality allows you to spend much less cement mortar from masonry, since the seams between the blocks are very narrow. Because of this, the possibility of the formation of "cold bridges" is minimized. Together with high thermal insulation qualities, this makes it possible to get a cheap and very warm house, which is extremely important in the current realities of the domestic energy market.
In a word, expanded clay blocks are ideal for construction in a low-rise segment. Reviews of them suggest that all construction costs are repeatedly justified in the first years of operation of such structures.
Unlike many modern building materials, all the raw materials for their manufacture are environmentally friendly and can not do the least harm to human health. In particular, expanded clay, which is the filler blocks, is made from ordinary clay. By the way, precisely due to its properties (hollowness and air saturation), the technical characteristics that claydite-concrete blocks possess are so high. Their price is not higher than 3 thousand rubles / cube, so the purchase of such material will always be a profitable investment.
Compared with something like that, they are in no way inferior to gas silicate brick, the cost of which is much higher. The raw materials for their production are chemically inert, so they are not afraid even of the action of sufficiently aggressive chemical environments. This allows you to build almost the entire range of industrial structures from expanded clay concrete.
The ability to regulate humidity in the room is the quality that only expanded clay concrete blocks have. Reviews of them confirm this amazing fact. Simply put, even a person with bronchial asthma can live in a claydite-concrete house, and the attacks of the disease will be greatly mitigated due to the optimal moisture content in the surrounding air. As you can already understand, to all of the above advantages, you can add complete immunity to mold and fungi, corrosion and decay. The durability, which the masonry of expanded clay concrete blocks can boast of, can well compete even with natural stone. If you build such a house, you can not only worry about housing for your children, but also about the housing of your future grandchildren, as the family “nest” easily lasts for decades. A pleasant appearance will provide an opportunity to significantly save on external finishing work.
Be that as it may, but with good conscience we can recommend expanded clay concrete blocks for private construction. Reviews about them inspire only optimism.
