The modern world can not do without the use of high quality materials, the latest technology and equipment. First of all, we are talking about the construction of residential buildings. The quality of materials, their cost and the complexity of the work are the determining factors when choosing. The use of bricks is a classic, but at the same time it is a costly construction. The market offers a wide selection of materials that are of higher quality and relatively low cost. Block houses are what you should pay close attention to. These residential buildings are divided into several types, it all depends on the main material.
Foam concrete, or artificial stone, as it is also called, is used for the production of foam blocks. The main component is cement, so large investments are not required here. Building houses from foam blocks can not be called costly. In general, block houses are distinguished by good sound insulation, which is important for couples, especially if they have small children.
Foam blocks have a second name - gas blocks, since their inner part has a porous structure. By quality characteristics, they are often compared with wood. The construction process will be simplified if you stop on foam foams.
Slag block houses are even more popular. It's all about low cost when compared with other similar materials. Slag stones are unpretentious in maintenance and do not need special transportation conditions. But along with all this, they have low thermal insulation, which during construction requires additional insulation of the house. And despite this, the cost of work and material will be relatively small compared to a brick house.
Building block houses has important advantages. Firstly, the lightness of the material does not affect the strength, reliability and durability of the building. The speed of work is very high. Similar material is difficult to find. Turnkey block houses include all finishing work, after which you can immediately settle in and equip your home. The opportunity to realize your design ideas as if on a blank canvas is worth it!
Secondly, an important factor is that the block houses do not shrink. Thirdly, the high degree of sound insulation, as well as the ability of some types of buildings from blocks to keep warm in the room for a long time speak for themselves. Fourth, the simplicity of the finish and its high quality. Block houses allow you to use any type of facade (from siding to natural stone).
The features of buildings made of blocks include the ability to select materials of different densities, this is necessary when building houses on several floors. Masonry is performed on a special adhesive, and not on cement. The different geometric shape of the blocks allows you to create different designs. Among the wide selection of building materials, foam blocks and cinder blocks are in a very favorable position.
