The owners of summer cottages and suburban areas, who decided this year to build on them a warm and safe house suitable for habitation, with the onset of spring warmth began an active selection of options to make their dreams come true. And today there are quite a few of them. For those who have not yet decided on the choice of the main building material, we suggest considering such a rather promising, but already very popular development among professional builders, such as heat block (Polyblock), which has already received a second name - an innovative new generation brick.
Construction and main characteristics
It is quite possible that the creators of the heat block turned their attention to the high demand for sandwich panels and decided to use this system of building materials in the production of bricks (blocks). They made their construction 3-layer:
- The outer layer is caramzite concrete, which does not require additional plaster and putty.
- The middle part is expanded polystyrene, which acts as a light and effective insulation.
- Inner layer - the textured part is made using the technology of porcelain stoneware or any other artificial stone (marble, brick).
Unlike classic sandwich panels, the layers of the heat block are not only glued together, but also additionally fixed to each other with special rods made of basalt or fiberglass. This gives them additional strength and reliability, exceeding the characteristics of ordinary facing or silicate bricks. Let's list the main advantages of the heat block, although they are obvious even to a non-professional:
- High heat and sound insulation performance.
- Perfectly clear edge shapes and sizes allow them to be used in "Fast" construction technologies.
- Durability and aesthetics.
- Fire safety (the insulation layer undergoes the necessary fire-prevention treatment) and environmental (full compliance with the established sanitary standards) safety.
polyblock required for finishing can be ordered using the official website of the manufacturer of this building material. On its online resource, it is possible to pay for purchases using a bank card or e-wallet, as well as order delivery directly to the site of future construction.
