What is foam concrete and why is it popular in Dezful?

Foam concrete is a type of light concrete that is used in its combination of cement, water and foam (special floor). This foam creates tiny holes in the concrete and greatly reduces the final weight. The result is a product with strong thermal and sound insulation, very light weight and acceptable pressure resistance, which is ideal for building floors.

In the city of Dezful, due to the heat of the air, high humidity and the need to reduce the dead load of buildings, foam concrete has been welcomed by many contractors and owners as a smart option. Foam Beton Nouri company has adapted this technology to the standards of the world and has implemented numerous projects in different regions of Dezful.

Advantages of foam concrete flooring in Dezful

1. Reducing the weight of the building

One of the most important advantages of concrete foam is its lightness. This feature directly reduces the dead load of the building and is especially important in earthquake-prone areas such as southern Iran.

2. Thermal and sound insulation

In Dezful, which has very hot summers, flooring with concrete foam helps maintain the temperature difference between inside and outside. On the other hand, its sound insulation property prevents the transmission of sound between floors.

3. Fast and uniform execution

Concrete foam has high fluidity, and as a result, it flows easily on surfaces and creates a smooth and uniform surface. This advantage plays an important role in the speed of floor construction.

4. High economic efficiency

The finished price of flooring with foam concrete in Dezful is lower than traditional methods such as mineral pumice, because it does not require a lot of materials and high manpower. For this reason, large projects are implemented more economically and time-efficiently at the same time.

5. Environmentally friendly

The raw materials of foam concrete can be recycled and its production process has little pollution. For this reason, in Dezful, where attention to sustainable development is growing, it is considered an environmentally friendly option.

Flooring implementation steps with concrete foam in Dezful

Company Nori Concrete Foam implements each project with a detailed plan and engineering supervision. The general steps are:

First step: surface preparation

The surface of the desired floor is completely cleaned and leveled so that no dust or pollution prevents the adhesion of concrete foam.

The second step: setting the level and installing a net or protective layer

To ensure better strength, mesh or polyethylene foam is used in some projects depending on the type of flooring.

The third step: making concrete foam

At the project site, a special foam machine uses cement, water, and foam to mix the concrete foam composition in a precise ratio to obtain the required density.

Fourth step: pumping and spreading concrete foam

Concrete foam is distributed on the surface by a special pump and is smoothed and leveled with a trowel and special tools. This step has a high execution speed.

The fifth stage: processing or final drying

Drying time of foam concrete in Dezful weather conditions is about 24 to 48 hours initially for walking and about 7 days to reach the final strength. During this period, impact or excessive moisture should be avoided.

Suitable thickness and density for flooring with concrete foam in Dezful

Depending on the type of use, the thickness of concrete foam can vary between 5 and 10 cm and its density between 300 and 1200 kg/m3. Based on the conditions of each project in Dezful, Light Concrete Foam company selects the best combination for uses such as floors, roofs, terraces and parking lots to establish a balance between lightness and strength.

Comparison of concrete foam with mineral pumice

In previous years, most contractors in Dezful used mineral pumice for slope or floor construction. But today foam concrete is considered the superior alternative for technical and economic reasons:

Lower weight: Foam concrete is about 50% lighter.
More uniform surface: Unlike pumice, it does not have irregular holes.
Shorter implementation time: Implementation of foam concrete is 3 to 4 times faster.
Better insulation: Both thermal and acoustic performance is much higher than pumice.
No need for much force: Only a small team with a pumping device is able to quickly implement the entire project.

Different applications of concrete foam in Dezful

1. Flooring of residential and office buildings

To level the floor of the units, remove the level difference and insulation between the floors.

2. Slope of roofs

To properly direct rainwater to the gutters and prevent moisture penetration.

3. Underlaying the floors of sheds and warehouses

Foam concrete has a very high weight bearing capacity and is widely used in Dezful industrial sheds.

4. Concrete foam in sewage and road construction projects

Foam concrete is also used in infrastructure projects to fill abandoned channels or to stabilize the soil bed.

Technical characteristics of optical concrete foam in Dezful

The Nori concrete foam company, with advanced equipment and automatic devices, is able to produce concrete foam that has:

Controlled density between 400 and 1200 kg/m3
Compressive strength 30 to 80 kg/cm2
Low water absorption for moisture resistance
Uniform surface and ready for installation of flooring, mosaic or ceramic

is These specifications have made the implementation of foam concrete flooring in Dezful to be closer to international standards.

The right time to implement foam concrete in Dezful

Since Dezful has hot and humid weather, the best time to perform concrete foam is the milder months of the year such as April to May and also Mehr to November. In these seasons, the ambient temperature helps to dry the concrete foam and increases the quality of the final surface.

Maintenance and care after the implementation of foam concrete

To increase the durability of concrete foam, it is better to observe the following points:

At least 48 hours should be avoided from walking on the surface.
On very hot Dezful days, keep the foam concrete surface moist to prevent cracking.
Before installing the flooring, make sure that the foam concrete layer is completely dry.

This simple care will increase useful life and prevent further damage.

Examples of successful optical concrete foam projects in Dezful

Nouri Foam Concrete Company has implemented this type of flooring in more than 50 construction projects in Dezful, including residential complexes, schools, and office buildings. High quality, precise leveling of the surface and extraordinary execution speed have made local contractors always choose this brand as their first choice.

summary

Due to many advantages, including lightness, speed of implementation, economic efficiency and insulation, the use of concrete foam in the flooring of Dezful buildings has become one of the smart criteria in modern construction. Using experienced specialists and modern equipment, Fom Beton Nouri company is ready to provide all services of foam concrete flooring in Dezful to respected builders, engineers and contractors.
