First, what is self-insulating block?

Self-insulating block refers to the wall structure which can reach the national and local current energy-saving building standards without internal and external wall insulation technology and its own thermal index. It contains polystyrene foam particles and foam concrete characteristics, to achieve thermal insulation and wall "two-in-one", fundamentally solve the problem of building thermal insulation wall integrity and weather resistance.

Second, the six characteristics of self-insulation blocks

1. Excellent thermal insulation performance

Particularly suitable for northern regions and cold regions. Through the selection of concrete varieties and grades of the main block, the compressive strength of the block can be set flexibly between 5.0MPa-7.5MPa, taking into account the needs of thermal insulation performance.

2. Low water absorption and shrinkage

The water content is only 2.1%, the water absorption rate is 7.8%, and the drying shrinkage rate is 0.2mm/m. The company adopts advanced technology and formula from Germany, which can effectively avoid the quality problems of the product such as wall cavitation, cracking and water seepage in the later period.

3. Good resistance to freezing and thawing

After 25 freezing and thawing cycles, the quality loss is only 2.1% and the strength loss is 10%, which is better than common aerated concrete blocks and lightweight aggregate concrete insulation blocks.

4. Excellent fireproof performance

The exterior is high-performance compact concrete, and the interior is filled with polystyrene particles or inorganic foam concrete and fire-retardant foam boards, with no fire hazards and excellent fire performance.

5. Simple construction process

No need to do auxiliary thermal insulation treatment, construction is simple, easy to promote the application, greatly improving the construction efficiency.

6. Reduced project cost

The external wall project does not need to do other insulation treatment, reducing the process, significantly reducing the overall project cost.

Third, the characteristics of ordinary aerated blocks

Ordinary aerated blocks also have many advantages:

  • Light weight, good thermal insulation performance

  • Strong seismic capacity, good processing performance

  • Certain high temperature resistance, excellent sound insulation properties

  • Adaptable, can be customized according to different local raw material conditions.

  • Raw materials can choose river sand, fly ash, mineral sand, etc., to realize the utilization of waste, which is conducive to environmental protection.

It should be noted that the state has restricted the use of solid clay bricks as the filling material of frame structure in urban construction, and many advanced regions have completely banned the use of red bricks and forced the use of new wall materials such as aerated bricks.

Fourth, the core difference between the two

1. Insulation performance

Self-insulating blocks can meet the energy-saving requirements themselves, while ordinary blocks need to add additional insulation layer to achieve the same thermal insulation effect.

2. Construction process

Self-insulation block construction eliminates the complicated external wall insulation process, can shorten the construction period of about 2 months, saving a lot of labor and construction costs.

3. Project quality

Self-insulating blocks avoid the quality problems of external wall insulation falling off and cracking, and improve the overall quality of building energy-saving projects.

4. Comprehensive cost

Although the unit price of self-insulation block is slightly higher than that of ordinary block, the overall cost is lower considering the savings in insulation materials, labor and construction period.

V. Suggestions for selection

For the pursuit of high quality, low cost, short construction projects, self-insulating blocks is undoubtedly a better choice. Especially for high-rise buildings, public buildings and cold regions of the building projects, self-insulating blocks can provide more reliable and long-lasting insulation effect.
