Partition blocks are widely used, which are used not only in private houses and apartments, but also in large construction. Almost every manufacturer that manufactures materials for walls produces blocks for partitions. Therefore, their choice for the consumer is very, very large. Why are these blocks so popular?
First of all, partition blocks are very light, as they are produced using special selected raw materials. It is worth noting that the blocks are not ready for serious loads, which means that load-bearing walls and other supporting elements cannot be laid out of them. Their advantage is that they are easy to install, quite affordable and can easily compete, for example, with wood.
What are the benefits of partition walls?
The material from which the partition blocks are made has good thermal and mechanical properties. For example, brick and concrete are inferior to it in terms ofthermal insulation qualities. Different materials are used for the manufacture of partition blocks, this allows you to get a good product for various building ideas. The block, as a rule, is made 100 mm wide. This is much less than the width of a brick, which means it will save space in the apartment where such partitions are installed.
The small thickness of the block does not affect the strength of the structure. Partition blocks can be made using various raw materials, so the products are of the following types:
- Aerated concrete.
- Expanded clay.
- Polystyrene concrete.
- Silicate.
- Gas silicate.
- Concrete.
- Aerated concrete.
Partition blocks have a lot of advantages. The first of these is the durability of the structure. During installation, the blocks do not require additional fasteners, they are perfectly held due to their own weight. They have a good density, which makes it possible to use the walls built from them to fix various hanging furniture and the necessary shelves on them.
Due to their compactness, the units are easily stored indoors. They also have good soundproofing and thermal qualities, which play an important role in the improvement of the apartment. For example, the foam block has a porous structure, and it is not afraid of moisture. Also, thanks to the protected bubbles in the structure of the foam block, the sound insulation of partition structures is significantly increased.
The abundance of positive qualities allows people to choose partitions that effectively perform their functions and create maximum comfort in their own apartments. Blocks can be used not only for the home. They can equip a garden, build benches out of them, design a playground or implement some other architectural solutions. The low cost of blocks is also one of their advantages. It may vary depending on what raw materials were used for their production. For example, foam concrete blocks are cheaper than expanded clay concrete blocks.
