Foam concrete roof and floor insulation

In addition to standard materials for building houses - brick, wood, concrete, builders are increasingly using foam concrete. The trend has long been observed in Europe and is gradually taking root in Russia, because foam concrete has a lot of advantages. Houses from it are built faster, it is economical, safe, easy. It is especially appropriate to use it in seismic areas. The composition of foam concrete is safe and non-flammable materials: sand, water, foaming agents, binders for bonding the mass and various additives for accelerated hardening, shape support. The material is used not only in the construction of monolithic houses, but also in the construction of individual parts of the building (roof, walls, floor), which provides high thermal insulation. Let us consider in more detail the main characteristics of foam concrete, its scope, advantages and disadvantages.
