House of silicate blocks - advantages and disadvantages

Construction of houses from blocks of silicate has long been in our country is popular and has a number of advantages:

  • houses have excellent sound and heat insulation, have a high rate of frost;
  • cellular structure gives the walls of the ease and allows them to "breathe";
  • unit has a high strength and low density, which makes design easier and reduces the load on the foundation;
  • material is resistant to all completely weatherproof;
  • gas silicate structures provides high resistance to fire and fire resistance.

Deficiencies in this building material is not a lot - it is a low resistance to bending and compression, so that the walls of silicate blocks can be deformed.

masonry walls made of silicate blocks - training material and tools

Laying silicate blocks produced on special glue or cement-sand mortar (in a ratio of 1: 3) and always begins with corner blocks, which must be carefully aligned.With the right approach the house to be built quickly, but it did not affect its durability.

To prepare the solution, and stacking blocks need the following tools: trowels, rubber mallet, rasp, saw, for cutting grooves tool, plane, level, square to mark, soft brush, drill, electric hand beater, and the capacity for solution.

Construction of gas silicate blocks are widely used for building houses, country cottages and villas, and is available for people with any financial income.And many do not miss an opportunity to make these units with their own hands directly on the construction site.

Construction of silicate blocks - stages of

Masonry silicate blocks takes place in several stages.First of all it is necessary to carry out waterproofing, it prevents the penetration of moisture.To this end, the foundation is laid roofing material, seated on a cement-sand mortar.

Then put the first number that is used to support the walls of a kind, and therefore it is necessary to take particular care.It is usually start with a higher angle home.He laid on a solution with which compensated for all the irregularities of the foundation.

blocks carefully aligned with a hammer and level: the smoother will be the number, the easier it will be done subsequent masonry.All irregularities on the surface lined immediately removed by floats and planer, and the remaining debris is swept with a soft brush.

Laying the following series can continue using the adhesive to be applied to the horizontal surface and sides of the unit.The second and subsequent rows begin with the same angle, but spread in the opposite direction.This alternation makes the structure more solid.Put gas silicate blocks with their hands will not be difficult, since they are very light and easy to use.

Finish silicate blocks, its durability and appearance are largely dependent on the proper selection of materials, the order of the work and the overall structure of the building.Options silicate surface finish very many, but the most common - is vinyl siding, decorative brickwork, a variety of cladding and, of course, plaster.

plaster silicate blocks of all kinds finishing ranked first.It must have a number of protective properties such as cold resistance, weather resistance, low water absorption, crack resistance and compression.
