A wide range of construction materials sometimes baffling. For example, different types of brick They have their advantages and disadvantages. It basically determines exactly which building blocks must be used during the construction of a particular design type. Today we look at what is aerated brick, its differences from other wall materials and the advantages / disadvantages.
Aerated brick wall differs from the conventional ceramic higher strength, presence of a large number of pores, size, environmental friendliness, low thermal conductivity. The use of porous or slotted brick reduces the load on foundation and speed up the construction time. The material has a good sound- and insulating properties. Due to the design of porous bricks (presence in a narrow end portion ridges and grooves) is not necessary in the side seams, and thus saving solution.
Due to the porous brick can greatly reduce the time of construction of buildings. This is achieved due to the large size of the wall material. Due to the porous structure, reducing the mortar joints and "Cold bridges" construction is obtained almost 20% warmer than conventional brick and saves on the exterior and wall insulation.
The disadvantages include relatively high cost of the material, which is higher than the price of Gas- and foam concreteBut still not as sky-high, and lower the cost of conventional ceramic bricks.
| Picture | View of brick | Dimensions in mm | The average price of the product, rub. / Pcs. |
 | Ceramic, facing Hollow | 250×120×65 | 27 |
 | furnace corpulent | 19 | |
 | aerated | 9 |
The use of porous bricks
Due to its characteristics and advantages of aerated brick is widely used both in industry and in the private housing. This kind of product is perfect for the construction of:
- residential buildings no higher than 9 floors;
- Building with a height not exceeding 24 m;
- bearing walls and pillars.
