Light concrete is known as foam concrete, and in its construction, they use a combination of water, cement, blown sand and foaming foam. The density of concrete foam is very low and it is used as sound and thermal insulation in construction. Because the inside of this foam is porous and there is air, it acts as a very good sound insulation.
Air bubbles trapped in cement concrete cause low density of foam concrete. The easy installation of this type of concrete allows workers to quickly implement it in any environment. Due to the fact that foam concrete has a lower price than the traditional method, it is more welcome in construction.What are the advantages of foam concrete?
The facility insulates the floor of the building.
It does not transmit fire heat and has high resistance to fire.
It is resistant to water and freezing.
It can be pumped up to a height of 50 meters from the ground.
If you need to repair the facility, it can be cut.
Due to its light weight, it reduces the weight of the entire structure.
It is cheaper than the traditional method.
Its easy installation increases the speed of work execution.
