Polystyrene as a valuable material eliminates the need for additional insulation of the exterior walls. Polystyrene pellets provide excellent thermal insulation properties for this material. The composition of modern polystyrene concrete blocks includes cement, sand, water, polystyrene foam granules, special plasticizers and air bubbles, and sometimes surfactants, which increase the excellent adhesion of this valuable material.
This material is used to make load-bearing walls, partitions or as insulation. One block of polystyrene foam replaces 20 bricks, which significantly increases the speed of construction.
The excellent thermal insulation quality of a 20 cm thick wall will be sufficient to provide the required resistance to heat transfer in regions with a mild climate, but in regions with harsher winters, a 30 cm thick wall is required, but the most common option. In this case, the insulation is 20 cm polystyrene concrete and foam. The coefficient of thermal conductivity of the material depends on the density, but in any case it is several times lower than many analogues and idol walls.
The excellent quality of the 20 cm thick wall soundproofing can maintain 72 dB of sound.
The light weight of the blocks and their large dimensions make the construction of the house very simple and quick, and the need for complex heavy equipment is eliminated. In addition, the blocks simply give the necessary shape, so you can actually build a house from them even with complex architectural elements.
