The heat block acts as a high-tech product obtained in the course of the work of construction industry specialists. It is used to create external enclosing structures, as well as buildings for various purposes, inside which conditions of normal humidity and temperature will be maintained.
Features of the heat block
The heat block is also called a polyblock, it is obtained by the method of bulk molding. The basis of the product contains expanded clay concrete, which is connected with insulating layers made of foamed or extruded PPS. In addition, the block has a front surface that acts as a decorative coating made of textured artificial stone coated with dyes.
Consumer feedback on the characteristics of houses from heat blocks
Heat block house is widespread among consumers for many reasons, the mainof which is expressed by the heat-saving characteristics of such buildings. Despite the fact that the described blocks appeared relatively recently on the building materials market, they managed to take their rightful place on it and are gradually gaining the status of a leader among alternative solutions. Today, the polyblock is gradually replacing brick, foam concrete and wood.
Another positive feature that attracts private developers and professionals is the price. The buildings have a low cost, and outwardly look very attractive, featuring high performance. A house from a heat block has the first, highest, class of capitalization of buildings for which a frame is used. Nowadays, environmental friendliness and naturalness are especially valued. And the heat block is completely harmless to he alth. Quite often, if not always, the consumer, in the process of choosing a material for a house, takes into account the qualities of fire resistance and long service life. The mentioned buildings meet these requirements, which is especially important for private construction.
Operational economy reviews
If you decide to build a house from heat blocks, then you will be able to save at every stage of the work, as well as when living in the building. These statements are not unfounded, which you can be sure of by learning that the surface of the products does not involve finishing work on external walls. The house does not need to be plastered on its surface, this allows you to save about 1,500 rubles on just one squaremeter. But if during operation it becomes necessary to update the appearance of the house, then the walls can be painted using, for example, an airbrush or other familiar tool.
To save money by building a house from a heat block, it will turn out not only on insulating materials, but also on heating resources. After all, the polyblock itself perfectly retains the accumulated heat, which eliminates the need for work on sealing walls, ceilings and floors. Moreover, the owners will have to spend less money on heating resources (about 3 times).
You can also save on air conditioning in the summer, as the heat block creates the effect of a thermos, not releasing cool air outside when the temperature remains high outside the window.
Reviews on cost-effective construction
House from the heat block allows you to save significantly in the construction process. Thus, masonry, the final area of \u200b\u200bwhich is 100 m22, will cost about 50,000 rubles. Even greater savings will be provided if you use a regular mortar, replacing the adhesive mixture with it.
Homeowners gain more usable interior space as the described block is approximately 30cm thick, providing an additional 12m2 per 100m2. If we compare the parameters of walls made of foam blocks or bricks, then with such thermal insulation the latter will be 2 times wider.
As you know, the foundation occupies a very large part of the cost of the whole house, butthe base can cost much less if it is a house made of heat blocks. Feedback from owners on this issue is only the most positive. After all, such products are lightweight, which means that they do not exert such an impressive load as, for example, a brick. So, 1 m3of a polyblock has a 3.5 times lower mass compared to the same brick volume. This allows you to reduce the cost of building the foundation. A one-story building made of a heat block can even be installed on screw supports.
Features of construction work
There are practically no materials that do not need soundproofing or protection against insects and rotting processes during construction. An exception in this regard is a house made of heat blocks, the reviews of the owners are proof of this. The products are based on porous expanded clay concrete, which has excellent soundproofing characteristics. Moreover, it is biologically inert, indicating that it is of no interest to insects and microorganisms.
If during construction it becomes necessary to cut the block, then this can be easily done. Just make strobes in it, and also drill a hole. But despite this, the heat-efficient product is highly durable.
If you do not intend to use a reinforced concrete frame in the process of work, but want to use heat blocks at the same time, house designs allow you to build buildings up to 12 m. Whereas with a frame, the number of storeys is not limited. Forcreating interfloor ceilings, you can use any method, including it is permissible to mount reinforced concrete slabs.
Reinforcement during the construction of polyblocks is made with a reinforcing mesh filled with masonry adhesive in such a volume that it covers the bars. It is necessary to lay steel elements in every 4th row of masonry.
Cost of construction
If you are interested in the cost of a house made of heat blocks, then you can compare it with the price of a brick building. One square meter in the first case costs 35% less compared to the same area of a finished brick wall. This is also due to the fact that the brick needs not only insulation, but also finishing work.
But if you order turnkey construction, the finished building will cost differently, depending on the area. So, 1 m2 will cost the consumer 20,000 rubles.
Positive Features
- Excellent heat saving qualities.
- Economy in construction.
- Soundproof characteristics of walls.
- No need for exterior finishing.
Polyblock house project
If you have finally decided that heat blocks will be the basis of your future housing, you can choose house projects yourself or order the creation of one from professionals. If you choose a one-story building with an area of 86 m22, then the living space will be limited to approximately 47 m22. At the same time, one family can live in it.consisting of three people. Decorative materials that will be included in the polyblock can be selected even before the start of construction work, this will allow you to get a building with a unique design. Such houses made of heat blocks, the price of which will be approximately equal to 1,548,000 rubles, provide comfortable living conditions.
