When building suburban housing from aerated concrete, many processes are greatly simplified. Less materials are spent on laying the foundation than when building brick buildings. When installing the blocks, a minimum of building glue is consumed, and the blocks themselves are very easily processed with a hacksaw and drilled without effort. Sheathing of aerated concrete walls is also easier and faster than the process of finishing brick objects.
The walls of aerated concrete houses can not be insulated, since cellular concrete has excellent thermal performance. In such buildings, heat is retained for a long time, so the owners spend a minimum of money during the heating season.
The advantages of aerated concrete include the following properties:
- porous material "breathes", providing a comfortable microclimate in the house like structures made of natural wood;- cellular concrete is not subject to decay and damage by insects, as well as rodents, therefore, when using it, treatment of structures with antiseptics is not required;- in contrast from brick, gas blocks have a significantly lower weight, which allows minimizing labor costs during the construction process, as well as reducing the material consumption of the foundation; - aerated concrete is a completely environmentally friendly material, it does not decompose and does not emit hazardous components, has no smell; - structures made of gas blocks are easy to finish , since the wall material itself is very even, and its surface has high adhesive properties; - the blocks gradually gain strength, acquiring the properties of stone over the years, therefore buildings made of such material are durable and reliable real estate objects.
Aerated concrete houses are not subject to shrinkage, which allows you to perform exterior and interior decoration immediately after completion of construction and installation works.
The laying of engineering communications in such buildings is very simple and fast, since the walls are easy to gouge, holes are made with hand tools and without much effort.
In terms of comfort, aerated concrete cottages are comparable to wooden buildings. Wall material with a vapor-permeable structure removes moisture well, preventing the accumulation of dampness and the appearance of mold in the house. The atmosphere in gas-block houses is cleaner and healthier than in brick buildings.
Country houses made of aerated concrete are cost-effective real estate objects, since almost half as much financial resources are spent on their construction, and during the process of living it becomes possible to save impressive amounts on space heating.
