Agvantages
- Foamed
Concrete (FC) blocks are lightweight and can be easily produced according
to different densities wherever it is needed ( factory or on- site )
therefore saving in transportation cost. Is a cement based product and
compatible with jointing mortar / plastering other parts of the concrete
structure.
- Due to its
cellular structure, FC blocks has good heat insulation and high fire
resistance. Buildings with FC blocks are much cooler compared to normal
bricks.
- FC blocks
also has a lower water absorbtion compared to other types of lightweight
blocks , uses less plaster and can be used for external walls.
- Sound
insulation and absorbtion is good for FC Blocks especially if the are used
as internal walls / partitions.
- FC blocks are
light and just the right size so that construction and building rates are
much faster. It is also more rigid and robust compared to other types of
lightweight blocks and suitable for high rise buildings.
- Less
plastering and jointing mortar is used during construction ( since blocks
are smoother & bigger than normal bricks ) providing a smoother wall finish
at reasonable cost.
