Production, Sale, Arbolit block st Kanevskaya (price 167) rubles Gas silicate and arbolite have similar positive qualities as incombustibility and resistance to mold.
Large block format allows you to quickly build a house. A box of an ordinary house on 2 floors can be built in just 2 weeks, taking into account the overlap.
Having good thermal conductivity, the walls of the house from these materials are cheaper due to the optimal wall thickness.
But there is an economic difference in the cost of walls made of wood concrete and gas silicate. Although gas silicate per 1 cubic meter is cheaper, however, due to the higher thermal conductivity, walls from gas silicate must be erected wider than from arbolite. For example, in the Central Federal District, a sufficient width of an arbolite wall is 30 centimeters, and a minimum of 40 of silicate.
Arbolite blocks do not require insulation, and the gas block must be insulated, and this is a significant additional cost.
Thus, the cost of walls made of wood concrete is the same or less than that of other materials.
However, when choosing the wall material for your own home, quality characteristics are very important. And here there are significant differences between wood concrete and gas block.
One of the main differences is the composition of the materials. Arbolite consists of 85% of wood and 15% of cement as a binder, and gas silicate of sand, cement, lime and gypsum. Therefore, the properties of arbolite have all the advantages of a wooden house in terms of a feeling of comfort, freshness, that is, a natural microclimate. In summer, the house made of wood concrete is cool, and in winter it is warm. Gas blocks, all the more insulated, cannot provide such an effect.
The next main difference is that the arbolite has the properties of plasticity and partially bends, that is, even if the foundation has certain vibrations, the walls of the arbolite will remain without cracks. This significantly reduces the cost of maintaining the house during operation and maintains its aesthetics.
Gas silicate is strong enough, but brittle material, lacking ductility, is poorly transported, and when the foundation vibrates, it gives massive cracks throughout the structure.
Another important advantage of wood concrete is the convenience of attaching various structures to the walls. The arbolite is an excellent fastening of nails, screws, even without the use of dowels. It is good to hold heavy objects: cabinets, shelves, radiators, boilers.
When mounting in gas silicate, special expensive fasteners for brittle materials must be used
