What is a light block?
Light block is usually made by mixing water with fine sand, cement and mineral pumice. Depending on the type of block, these combinations can be different. Of course, the reason for the lightness of these blocks is the creation of porosity by small air bubbles in its texture. In fact, whatever the combination of elements in the block is, the presence of air bubbles in its texture is constant. This has created significant capabilities for these light construction materials.
The use of light block in construction
Today, light block is considered one of the most essential building materials and is used in porcelain walls (non-load-bearing walls), filling the floor of the structure, building the roof, and creating slopes in different parts of the building. Depending on the quality and quantity of light building blocks, they can be used in different parts of a structure.
The advantages of light building blocks
Using light blocks in construction greatly saves costs, energy, and the duration of work. Due to its aerated texture and very light weight, this building material is insulated against cold and heat, has a high speed of installation and implementation, and significantly reduces the cost of transportation and construction. The use of light blocks in the building makes it sound-insulated, in the event of an earthquake, it suffers the least damage, and by saving cooling and heating energy, it is considered environmentally friendly.
Types of light blocks
There are different types of light construction blocks named Hablex block, gas block, three-walled block, cement block, Liper block, Lika block.
Gas style block
Gas block is made of cement, lime and silica and can be recycled. The lightness and strength of this light block is one of its notable features.
The gas block has a high resistance to environmental factors and is suitable for construction in any climate zone.
There are two types of autoclave and non-autoclave for gas block. The gas block autoclave type is known as AAC and its non-autoclave type is known as NAAC.
EAC, or Hablex light block, is considered the most practical type of gas block because of its unique features.
Hoblex style block
This building material, also known as AAC, is a type of light porous concrete that is made by combining water with silica, lime, cement and aluminum powder.
The difference between Heblex and other light blocks is that the primary ingredients of the concrete are autoclaved in the autoclave at a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 12 atmospheres.
This block is used for Chinese wall in all kinds of structures. The very low weight and high porosity of Hablex block have made it have significant advantages in building construction.
In fact, the unique features of Hablex are much more than its style. The high resistance that this building material has against cold, heat and humidity; Also, its flexible nature, which prevents the building from possible earthquake damage, is a part of the capabilities of this building material. Buildings that are built with Hablex blocks are soundproof. This feature is very important in the construction of residential complexes or large industrial units.
Buildings that are built with Hablex blocks are soundproof. This feature is very important in the construction of residential complexes or large industrial units.
Hablex block structures are also highly resistant to fire and frost. In this way, in the discussion of building safety, these building materials have the first word.
Due to the ability of Hablex block to not transfer heat and cold from outside to inside or vice versa, energy consumption is optimized and less cost is spent on cooling and heating systems of the building. In the discussion of costs, the issue of ease and speed in transportation and The implementation of Hablex with special Hablex glue also proves the cost-effectiveness of this building material.
The ability to cut and drill holes in the Hablex block has made it easy to use it anywhere in the building and carry out all construction work such as electrical wiring without the slightest problem and as quickly as possible.
Industrial Style Block or Lika Block
This building block is made of cement and water. Of course, there is an integral part of the air holes in the fabric of this block. The outer walls, roof and facade of the building are spaces where Lika block can be used.
Triangle
This type of block is used in the construction of exterior walls and is made from a combination of different types of pumice stones. Mineral is made with water and air bubbles.
Cement block
Cement block is made of cement, sand and water in a porous form. These types of blocks have lower compressive strength than load-bearing blocks.
Lipper block
In the production of this type of light block, perlite industrial grain, scoria pumice and pumice are used. Lipper block is used in the construction of space separating panels, interior panels, and non-structural walls in general. This building material has high resistance to heat.
The best choice of building block
Among the types of light building blocks, Hablex block has significant advantages over other building blocks. Choosing Hablex blocks for the walls of your building or the construction of large industrial projects is the wisest step to ensure the safety of the building, saving costs, optimal energy consumption, and also being faithful to the laws of environmental sustainability.
