Since the foam block is arranged somewhat differently than the familiar brick at the construction sites, there are certain features in its masonry. First of all, the need to reinforce the entire laying, since the strength of this material is low. For the same purpose, a special concrete armo -pods is created on top of the masonry for the ceiling. Foam blocks are placed in the wall with the help of a traditional sand-cement mortar.
Stages of masonry – the first row and subsequent
The technology of laying on top of the foundation remained unchanged. First put a solution of 2 cm thick, then a modern layer of waterproofing material. Not necessarily outdated roofing material, rubbish, hydrozer or bikrost are perfect. On top of waterproofing and apply the first row of masonry.
The subsequent rows can be placed both on the solution and on glue. The latter makes installation easier, eliminates the cold bridges, making the wall more homogeneous and even, which is convenient for subsequent finishing. The main rule for the master is to prevent voids in the seams.
Stages of masonry – wall reinforcement
Every 4 rows in the seams you need to lay a welded mop. Thus, two birds with one stone kill at once:
– the stability of the entire wall increases;
– the risk of cracks is reduced.
The grid is made of 5 millimeter wire with steamed transverse ligaments. So that the grid does not prevent the use of glue, in the masonry you need to cut out the grooves for the reinforcement.
Stages of masonry – installation of floor slabs
The point load from such plates is too large to put them directly on foam blocks. First, an armo -pile of 15 cm thick is cast over the wall. It will have to be insulated additionally, since thermal insulation of walls it violates. The width of the layer can be 30 cm with the thickness of the wall itself – 40 cm. It is the remaining 10 cm and insulate.
Pentlock delivery can be performed in advance or carried out in stages during the construction.
