Recently, sibit, which is a material in the form of aerated concrete blocks made by autoclave technology, is increasingly used for the construction of houses and buildings for various purposes. It looks attractive, has light weight, high strength and is perfect for low-rise construction. These characteristics are used not only by professionals, but also by private developers around the world. Sibit is successfully used even for frosty regions as an effective insulation, which does not require the use of additional materials. With its help, not only load-bearing walls are erected , but also partitions that do not insulate. This helps speed up work and reduce construction costs.
Varieties of sibita by brand
Sibit was invented a long time ago, but with the advent of new technologies, more modern blocks of various types and designs began to be produced. In the construction of buildings, some of them are used. For example, D600 is intended for the construction of houses with ventilated facades, it has high strength.
But the D500 is used in the construction of walls of buildings of a monolithic type, while the D400 is a material for the construction and arrangement of a heat-insulating layer in the process of laying openings. D350 is used as insulation, but it is fragile.
Sibit classification
The sizes of the sibit can be very different, but it is important to distinguish this material also by variety. Thus, on sale you can find:
- constructional;
- heat insulating;
- structural and heat-insulating products.
Structural are the heaviest and most durable. The mark of their density can be from D900 to D1200. Structural and heat-insulating - these are quite reliable products with which you can even build a three-story building with single-layer walls. The heat-conducting qualities of this material make it possible to exclude the use of an insulating layer in the walls. As for thermal insulation products, their density can vary from D400 to D500, they are considered the most common in the construction of internal partitions.
Dimensions and GOST
The size of the sibit can be very different, it all depends on the destination, which can be understood by name. For example, GB-100 are products that do not have grooves and ridges and have the following dimensions: 600 x 1000 x 250 mm. Thus, the volume of one block is 1.8 m 3 , you will have to pay 3400 rubles per cubic meter of such material.
Sibit dimensions can be equal to 600 x 150 x 250 mm. If you met such products, then you have GBp-150, this option has a groove and a crest. The volume of one block remains the same as GB-100, the cost is the same. Dimensions can vary up to 600 x 200 x 250 mm - if so, then here is the GBp-200 model, which has a groove and a comb. If you need a product with a groove, a ridge, as well as a grip, then you can prefer the sibit, which is produced under the brand GBp-300, the dimensions of such a block are 600 x 300 x 250 mm, you can find similar material on sale in other sizes: 600 x 375 x 250 mm, as well as 600 x 400 x 250 mm.
If you see a sibit, the block dimensions of which are met to the nearest millimeter, then you can be sure that the product was manufactured according to GOST. Companies that produce this material rely on state standards of the Russian Federation under the number 31360-2007.
Dimensions of floor slabs
If you need floor slabs from autoclaved aerated concrete, then you should choose a material manufactured in accordance with GOST 19570-74. Such products are intended for floors of low-rise houses, attics, as well as basements. The size of the supporting part of the panel is 120 mm with a possible error of up to 10 mm. Thus, you can purchase a plate with dimensions of 2240 x 600 x 240 mm, and you will have to pay 2300 rubles for it.
Sibit (floor slabs), the dimensions of which are indicated in the article, can be purchased from companies specializing in this material.
If you are interested in long lengths, then you should pay attention to products with the following dimensions: 2740 x 600 x 240 mm. The cost of one such plate will be 2800 rubles. The last two parameters are considered standard, but the length can vary. Thus, for plates of 3040 and 3240 mm, you will have to pay 3090 and 3312 rubles, respectively.
If the length increases to the parameters of 3740, 4040 and 4240 mm, then you can purchase such products at a cost of 3800, 4100 and 4320 rubles, respectively.
Not only a professional builder, but also a home master will be interested in the size of the sibit. The table presented in the article will allow you to make the right choice. The maximum size of floor slabs is 5940 mm, such a product costs 6040 rubles. However, there are intermediate values that are equal to 5440 and 5040 mm, in these two cases the prices will be 5500 and 5112 rubles, respectively.
Reviews about sibit of various forms
There is a sibit, which is intended for the construction of supporting external walls and partitions. Such products are presented in the form of rectangular blocks. According to builders, beams made of reinforced aerated concrete, as well as floor blocks, are used to erect ceilings. For the installation of door and window openings, it is advised to use U-shaped blocks, which can speed up the process and significantly reduce labor costs. Sybit, the size, the price of which is mentioned in the article, can also be represented by arc-shaped blocks, as well as jumpers, which facilitate the construction process.
Reviews about the features of the sibit
Builders choose this material for the reason that it does not age and does not undergo decay processes. It is based on ecological natural raw materials, and the structure has many pores that make the walls breathable and warm. Sybit, the block sizes of which are presented in the article, does not lend itself to deformation and the effects of fire.
The product is characterized by low thermal conductivity and allows you to economically consume energy. According to customers, this material is easy to process. The production technology is considered quite simple, which is why products have a low cost.
Conclusion
If you are going to use autoclaved aerated concrete for the construction of housing, then you should be interested in the size of the sibit. Houses made of this material are frost-resistant, durable and have low thermal conductivity. They gain such characteristics through the processing process. Autoclave production is automatic, so it is possible to pre-set the desired properties of the blocks. The size of the sibit, as mentioned above, is very diverse, so you can choose for yourself the products of the desired dimensions, which in the process of minimizing the need for processing, which will reduce the time spent on construction.
