Before starting repairs or construction, it is very important to collect the maximum amount of information about building materials. This is especially true for basic materials such as aerated concrete or foam block. After all, each of them has its own characteristics, both positive and negative. Therefore, it is so important to carefully study and consider the information received. For example, aerated concrete is tougher and hardener than a foam concrete block, although their ridges are the same. Also, aerated concrete has a more stable structure, in addition, plaster is easier to apply on it.
At the same time, the foam block has a cell in its structure, which allows you to increase thermal insulation and frost resistance, since the cavity is not interconnected inside the foam concrete. This property will be very useful if you have to build in low temperatures and high humidity. In addition, foam block is environmentally friendly material.
If you are going to build something for a long time, then it is worth taking into account the fact that foam concrete is less long-term, over time it can sag and lose its stability. This is because in foam blocks after some time small cracks begin to form. Therefore, think well before choosing the material and carefully weigh all the pros and cons.
