Expanded clay concrete is indispensable during the construction of houses, garages, cottages, numerous outbuildings, and even in monolithic housing construction, where the frame of the structure is filled with their help.
Thanks to the combination of diverse textures and block shapes, there is an opportunity for unlimited space for architectural creativity. Due to the through voids of the blocks, hidden frames are created in the wall, which can significantly increase their bearing capacity.
Expanded clay blocks are ideally combined with many types of reinforced concrete materials, metal structures, as well as with door and window openings.
Expanded clay concrete is characterized by high strength, which makes it possible to use them not only in low-rise, but also in high-rise construction. But at the same time, it must be remembered that when erecting structures of large volumes, it implies an accurate calculation of the strength of the structure. This is due to the special fragility of the material.
The procedure for laying expanded clay concrete blocks is similar to laying ordinary bricks, but it is easier and more convenient, which determines its high popularity. Among other things, the blocks are considered the most suitable for the Russian climate, which allows them to be used without subsequent plastering of translucent facades. But, as a rule, not everyone does this.
