Each person who plans to build their own homeowner thinks about which building material to choose for this. Everyone, of course, wants the house to be not only beautiful, but also warm, comfortable, and also reliable. Not so long ago, the “isodom” technology appeared on the construction market, thanks to which everyone can make their dreams come true. This will allow not only to build walls faster and better than from other building materials, but also cheaper.
What is the "isodom"
Having heard about the latest technology for the first time, many people ask themselves: “isodom,” what is it? This is a special technology of monolithic construction, which uses fixed formwork. This development provides high thermal protection, comfort, sound insulation and simplicity. Houses built using this technology are reliable, warm and inexpensive. As a result of European independent research, this technology was recognized as one of the most durable and cost-effective.
Construction Features
The construction of houses using the "isodom" technology consists in the fact that special hollow polystyrene foam blocks are assembled together, like parts in a children's designer. After assembly, the cavities are filled with concrete and reinforced. Since the locks in the blocks have a special design, the assembly process is very simple and does not take much time. As a result, the construction of the walls is obtained with a flat surface, which require a minimum amount of finishing material during the finishing process.
Despite the fact that in Russia this material is completely new and people are just starting to find out what it is - the “isod”, it has already gained immense popularity, which continues to grow rapidly.
Advantages and disadvantages
When planning the construction of their own home ownership, each person wants to build it as quickly as possible, but at the same time, keeping up with the times. To make your dreams come true, you need to become more familiar with the technology, understand what it is - the “isod”, and how, thanks to this approach, you can quickly build a home.
This technology is primarily distinguished by the fact that it can be applied in absolutely different areas. From such building material, cottages, multi-storey residential buildings, garages, and also warm pools can be erected. This construction technology has the following advantages:
- environmental friendliness;
- universality;
- fire resistance;
- resistance to bacteria, fungi and mold;
- soundproofed;
- the possibility of use in seismically hazardous areas;
- soundproofed.
As for the shortcomings, for the entire existence of the technology "isodom" owner reviews are only positive. The only thing that the owners of such households note is that to give maximum thermal insulation it is necessary to sheathe the walls and floor inside with drywall.
As practice shows, if a person strives to keep up to date and quickly build high-quality and durable housing, then the “isodom” technology is what he needs.
Izodom - cost savings
Understanding what this is - an “isodom”, everyone will want to have a dwelling built precisely by such technology. Construction technology provides savings not only time but also costs in the process of building a home.
Preferring the construction of the "isodom", as practice shows, the speed of construction increases by an average of 16%, and the time spent on decorating the walls decreases by about 20-40%. Due to the fact that durable monolithic walls are lighter than brick walls, there is no need to build an expensive foundation. During the construction process, you can not align the walls, as well as wait a certain period of time until shrinkage occurs.
As for the cost, compared to a brick building, built using the "isod" technology will cost 1.5 times cheaper.
Formwork
Before proceeding with the construction of a home using the "isod" technology, the characteristics of the building material must be carefully studied. During the construction process, the thickness of the finished wall will depend on the size of the block. Currently, the following blocks are presented on the construction market:
- 25 cm - of which 15 will be concrete and 10 cm expanded polystyrene;
- 30 cm - in this case, concrete and polystyrene foam will be required in equal proportions;
- 35 cm - of which 15 concrete and 20 cm expanded polystyrene.
Before starting the construction of walls, the foundation must be equipped with vertical reinforcement and waterproofing. During the entire construction, it is necessary to have a house project in front of your eyes and systematically check it, because otherwise it will be very difficult to correct any inaccuracies subsequently.
The first row of blocks is laid around the perimeter for waterproofing, passing them through the vertical reinforcement. Then the second layer is laid, which is connected using special locks to the first. To connect the blocks you need to slightly press on their edges. After laying the third layer, the wall prepares for pouring. Filling is first performed on difficult places such as corners, edges and slopes. Further work is performed in an identical way.
During construction, the use of isodom technology makes it possible to build a house quickly, inexpensively and efficiently, without even resorting to the help of professionals.
