Advantages and disadvantages of aerated concrete house

How to determine if aerated concrete is suitable as a wall material for your home? ⠀

Is aerated concrete house good or bad? This is the question most often asked builders by customers. The builders, in turn, respond in the way that suits them, but the truth does not come out of this. To answer the question, let's take a sober look at the strengths and weaknesses of the aerated concrete block and determine: for which houses this material is suitable. ⠀



😡 Because of what they scold the aerated concrete block ⠀

On the Internet, there are many articles and videos exposing aerated concrete. The main claims against the material are destruction from exposure to low temperatures and fragility, causing cracks in the walls. In some videos, you can see how aerated concrete collapses under the pressure of floor slabs. Is the material to blame, not the builder? First things first. ⠀


⛓ Aerated concrete - technological material and is a type of cellular concrete. This type of artificial stone is made using blowing agents, and it gains strength in an autoclave under the influence of high pressure and steam treatment. In simple terms, aerated concrete is a foamed hardened concrete, inside of which air pores are formed, giving the material lightness, and high heat-insulating qualities. ⠀


🔬 In this case we are talking about autoclaved aerated concrete, which is recommended for construction. The fact is that there is also a non-autoclave aerated concrete block, which can be made artisanally. It is such a block that causes many troubles, since the production technology is not fully respected in artisanal industries. Such a unit, unlike the factory one, is always far from the declared characteristics and has a broken geometry. ⠀

⚠ Like any technological material, aerated concrete is demanding to operate. When using this building material, you need to know the areas of its application and the factors leading to its destruction. ⠀

5⃣ When to receive technical specifications? ⠀

With the exception of remote species plots with autonomous engineering systems, all other plots in partnerships, various cottage villages or on the lands of settlements, at least, are connected to power supply networks. In developed regions, it is also a centralized water supply with sewage, and even gas. Although the legislation provides for the shortest possible time, obtaining technical specifications for technological connection to existing engineering networks should be puzzled immediately after the acquisition of the site, in parallel with the design. So that by the time construction begins, you don’t have to negotiate with neighbors (which not everyone has and is not always adequate) or urgently seek funds for a generator. ⠀

6⃣ Is geology a must? ⠀
At first it’s better to find a designer, and already he will make up a task for geologists. Another option is statistical sounding, the data obtained by the designer for the calculations will be enough. ⠀

7⃣ What is included in the preparation for construction? ⠀
The proper organization of the process is as follows. ⠀

☑ Preparation of technical specifications (TOR) ⠀
☑ Design ⠀
☑ Preparation for construction ⠀
☑ Construction ⠀

8⃣ They say a building permit is no longer needed? ⠀
Moreover, within the framework of an extended summer cottage amnesty, not only permission is abolished, but also notification of the beginning and end of construction. True, we are talking only about residential or garden houses being erected on plots in garden associations, habitually referred to as country houses, although it is no longer country houses as forms. Simplification, according to which registration of rights and registration with the cadastral register is again carried out on the basis of the technical plan, is valid from August 4, 2019 to March 1, 2021. If you are sure that the construction is guaranteed to be completed during 2020, the maximum, in January 2021, you can not give notice of. ⠀

Восемь шагов к готовому дому⠀

Eight steps to the finished house

Someone has been creating his house for several years, studying theory and other people's experience, painstakingly planning, choosing a technology and a project, drawing up schedules and estimates. And someone circumstances or “I want, and that's it”, forced to “touch” almost without preparation. But, in any case, both those and other potential owners of the coveted suburban real estate begin with the basics. Below we answer questions regarding key aspects of building a private house. ⠀

1⃣ What is considered a residential building? ⠀
A residential building is understood as a construction with functioning engineering communications and a fine finish. The cost of the house (namely the house, excluding landscape work), relative to the stages of construction, is as follows. ⠀

Design - 1-1.5% (in rare cases, it can be up to 5%). ⠀
Box construction - 30% .⠀
Communications, insulation, finishing under the finish - 30% .⠀
Fine finish - 30% .⠀
Buffer (reserve, in case of unforeseen circumstances) - another plus 10-15% .⠀

2⃣ How is the box different from the closed loop? ⠀
A box is ceilings, walls, bearing partitions (if any) and a roof, ideally, with a fine roofing, a drainage system, binder and spotlights. If it was not possible to cover the roof in one season, the structure is protected with a draft material. A closed circuit is a box with installed window units and an entrance door or doors. As with the roof, if it was not possible to close the circuit, the openings are sealed with improvised materials. ⠀

3⃣ What is included in the zero cycle? ⠀
Everything below the floor level of the first floor is the planning and backfilling of the site, earthwork (including digging trenches for engineering systems and facilities, and digging a foundation pit). Plus, all operations on the device of the foundation itself, a specific list depends on the type of foundation. The zero cycle final is the finished foundation. ⠀

4⃣ How to ensure the life of workers? ⠀
The first building on the site becomes a change house. A concept that implies both a comfortable ready-made block container, which will become a guest house in the future, and a hastily assembled frame temporary hut + toilet. ⠀
