We make partitions from claydite concrete

asphalt walls Today there is a wide variety of materials from which it is possible to build long-lasting and high-quality partitions. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages, which, naturally, affects the comfort of living inside the building built of it. The cheapest way, this is the erection of partitions from expanded clay blocks, while their cost is much less compared to the foam block and the gypsum plaster.

The photo shows the most common materials from which it is possible to produce masonry elements of almost any overall dimensions, while they will all have much less weight than the same brick. In addition, when using volumetric blocks, the consumption of the solution for laying is greatly reduced. Today, one of the most demanded materials that meet all modern requirements both for environmental friendliness and efficiency is the kermsit concrete block wall.

What are the advantages of claydite concrete?

Claydite concrete is the most readily available material to date. It can both be bought in ready-made form by separate products, and made independently. To do this, you only need a vibrating table for high-quality filling. This allows to produce masonry materials directly on the construction site. But in order to save time and cheap enough, many people prefer to buy ready-made products from reliable companies. So, what are the advantages of the material, and what characteristics does it have?

The wall of expanded clay blocks is very warm and soundproof enough. This property it owns due to the porosity of the main filler and the technology of making blocks. The main component is granular expanded clay. It is a burnt clay slag filled with air bubbles. The presence of such a large number of bubbles indicates excellent thermal insulation properties, as well as a light weight of expanded clay concrete.

Depending on the granularity, claydite concrete can change its characteristics. Smaller granules are used to make more durable concrete. It is used for the production of foundation blocks or casting it on site. Also, it is possible to erect bearing walls and structures, but the thermal insulation properties of such material are lower in comparison with large granules.

Bearing walls of expanded clay concrete in low-rise construction can be constructed both from a solid block and from a hollow block. But in the second case they are much warmer, due to the additional air cushion in several rows. So, let's consider what types of creamsite-concrete blocks are used today in construction.

The simplicity of the production technology makes it possible to produce blocks of various shapes and sizes:

• straight;
• L-shaped;
• crest;
• simple;
• jumper;
• crossbeams;
• blocks are solid;
• hollow and even reinforced concrete floors.

The range of products is very large and able to fill any needs for the construction of completely different buildings.

The photo below shows the most common wall blocks for partitions.

Technical characteristics of expanded clay

Property	amend.	Value
Thermal conductivity	W / mGrad	0,15-0,45
Bulk weight	kg / m3		strength	kg / cm2	25-150
Water absorption	%	50
Shrinkage	%	0
Cooling time of the wall	hour	75-90
Number of freezing cycles	cycles	50

Based on the table, it can be seen that in terms of its parameters the claydite-concrete block is similar to gas silicate and can be used as an alternative to it.

It is important to remember that in construction, it is absolutely impossible to combine materials or alternate. Because this can lead to cracking of the wall at the joints due to the difference in expansion parameters when heated.

Installation of the partition of keramzitblocks

So, let's consider the modern technology of laying claydite blocks and erecting partitions from them, but first you need to figure out what kind of solution should be used for construction. Today, there are several consumables that can be used for erecting partitions:

1. mortar Cement-sand mortar. It can be prepared independently, for this, in a ratio of 1: 3, cement is added to the sand and mixed thoroughly, after which water is added. For plasticity, alkali or some industrial plasticizer can be added to the mixture. It is important to mix the sand thoroughly before sanding on a fine sieve. Looking ahead, we will briefly consider how to put blocks on a solution. In this case, it is necessary to make a thicker layer of adhesive for a better and more stable partition, but then there are difficulties with the geometry of the structure.
2. The second most common because of the efficiency and convenience is the glue. As it can be purchased a factory mix, sold under the name of glue for laying walls from gas blocks, but you can also use a mixture for laying tiles. It has the same properties and has no less gluing functions. To understand how to put claydite blocks on glue, just look at the attached video at the end of the article.

How to lay the claydite blocks of the photo below will help to understand the process, but first you need to prepare the base. To do this, the installation site must be cleaned of the old solution, level and lay a layer of waterproofing. As it can be any material intended for this. Align the surface of the floor with a semi-dry screed.

To get a high-quality partition, it is necessary to build it according to the pre-made markup or use the level. The thickness of the wall blocks can be from 10 cm to 20 depending on the need, while they can be both full-bodied and hollow.

It is important to remember that partitions in apartments or private houses with reinforced concrete ceilings should be erected only by their hollow ones, since their weight is much lower, and accordingly the load on the floors will be less.

How to put claydite blocks? The first row is leveling, so the amount of solution or glue depends on the requirement of leveling the surface. To control the overall geometry of the entire bulkhead, pull the string, and to check the vertical surface and speed up the installation, it is recommended to use the guide bars. The video clearly shows that they are attached to one side of the partition by level, and this excludes the possibility of blockage.

Today on sale there are not only strictly rectangular blocks, but also there are paso-crests. Due to the presence of the groove and the crest, they are securely fixed to each other, and thus the qualitative geometry of the entire structure. Expanded clay partitions are very popular today primarily because of the convenience and high speed of installation.

The attached video shows the most common masonry partitions from the blocks. Here you can trace all the subtleties of editing and possible nuances during work. Clay claydite blocks for interior partitions, is a fairly easy process, because the weight of the blocks is very small, and it's just a pleasure to work with glue. But still it's worth watching the video tutorial and fixing some skills in theory.

Dressing

After laying the first row, you can proceed with the installation of the second. It is important to observe the dressing to achieve the required strength of the structure. This should be done by shifting not less than ½ of the lower block. But also it is necessary to carry out dressing and with bearing walls along the perimeter of the building. To do this, a hole is drilled in the wall at the level of the upper edge of the block, into which the reinforcement together with the solution is then embedded. The laying of the blocks is greatly facilitated by the already existing upper groove, it is necessary to simply enclose the dressing, and if a solid block is used, it is necessary to cut a small groove with the help of a bulgarian. The clay is hard enough material( burnt clay), so it should be cut only with a special stone. This is, perhaps, the only drawback.

Interior partitions pazogrebnevye with the use of hollow claydite blocks will be an excellent opportunity to hide the communications of ventilation ducts. By the way, for their construction on sale there are specially prepared blocks with a square cross-section of emptiness.

In addition to dressing with load-bearing walls, the installation of a paraffin block from claydite concrete should be carried out with simultaneous fixing to the floor if the waterproofing was laid. This can be done with perforated plates and anchors. When building a partition on a concrete base without a substrate, the bandage with the floor can be avoided.

Doorway

The installation of partitions from the parasol blocks necessarily includes door or window openings, arches and niches. A wide variety of sizes of expanded clay blocks allows creating absolutely any structures. But how is the doorway made?

For this, it is necessary to strengthen the end blocks. When using solid bodies, this is not necessary. The extreme section of the block is filled with mortar, then a metal bridge is laid on the opening. For hollow blocks on sale and there are ready jumpers that perfectly fit under the block and hide in its structure. Pazogrebnevaya partition of keramzitobetonnyh blocks should be necessarily strengthened inside, for this, thick wires or fittings fit into already existing grooves, thus creating a reinforced ring along the entire perimeter.

Ending the erection of walls

The partition of the keramzite block blocks should not be lined up to the ceiling itself. It is necessary to leave an air space of 1-1.5 cm, it should be filled with a mounting foam. This will eliminate the possibility of damage to the partition due to the vibrations of the ceiling.

Pile-and-grooving wall panels

In large-scale construction, panels are used today for the partition walls. This not only allows you to significantly accelerate the construction process, but save the consumption of the adhesive mixture. But when erecting such partitions, it will be necessary to help strangers. If, in the case of small masonry materials, all work could be done by one builder, then a whole team of like-minded people will be required to build a partition from the paso bar.

The installation of partitions from pierreplane panels allows for a shorter period of time to cover large amounts of work, while the quality of the partitions remains high. One panel can replace up to 20 blocks of medium size. But they have a standard height of 2.5 m, which indicates the need to adhere to these parameters.

panels An important feature of the partition from the pierceplane panels is its longitudinal strength and the availability of special channels for laying all necessary communications.
