Houses made of wood concrete are becoming more and more popular every day due to such obvious advantages as relatively low cost, excellent heat saving, simple and easy installation, etc. Arbolit combines two of the best materials for the construction of residential buildings - wood and concrete, leveling their disadvantages and maintaining the main advantages. Arbolit is a material produced on the basis of wood chips of certain species (about 85-90%), pre-soaked in special impregnations, and high-quality concrete, which acts as a binder and hardener. Wood concrete is created and tested in accordance with GOST 19222-84.

It is represented very widely on the modern market, so it will not be difficult to find high quality material in Moscow and the regions.

Advantages and disadvantages

Arbolit is also called wood concrete. Due to its positive properties, wood concrete competes with more familiar building materials, but due to its peculiarities, it is not used in some cases. So, for example, it will not be possible to carry out the construction of a house from wood concrete in conditions of high humidity, they do not erect buildings from it with a large number of storeys.

Thermal conductivity at the level of 0.07-017 W / m2 - corresponds to the coefficient of light cellular concrete, in many cases it makes it possible to do without insulation. Environmental friendliness and safety - subject to the production technology, the material does not pose any danger to human health and life, does not emit toxins into the air. High level of sound insulation - maximum protection against noise from the street and blocking out sounds from the inside to the outside. Good vapor permeability - the walls breathe, an optimal microclimate is created in the room. But this positive moment turns into a disadvantage where low temperatures and high levels of humidity are noted. Light block weight - less load on the foundation and ease of installation without the need to involve special equipment.

Large size and precise geometry - you can easily and quickly build a house from wood concrete with your own hands. Simple handling - the blocks are easy to saw, cut, nails, fasteners, etc. fit well into them. High flexural strength - in the construction of low-rise light buildings, reinforcement can be dispensed with. Low flammability - blocks are resistant to fire, which increases the safety of operation. No rot and mildew (which is often characteristic of wooden houses), rodents - due to the fact that wood chips are located in a concrete shell and are not subject to negative influences.

Some disadvantages of wood concrete:

The importance of adherence to technology production and use of only high-quality materials - when the manufacturer tries to save money on concrete or chips, wood concrete loses its strength, resistance to impact, and other parameters. High moisture absorption - interior / exterior finishing is required; in rooms with high humidity levels (kitchen, bathroom, toilet), you must additionally use vapor barrier materials.

Design

Before creating a project, it is important to determine the composition and characteristics of the soil in order to lay the correct foundation. Then they are determined with the shape of the house, the optimal wall thickness, thermal insulation, the locations of doors and windows, and other parameters. After the project has been created, the type and required volumes of building material are calculated.

Much depends on the region - for example, in Sochi there will be enough wall thickness of 20 centimeters, and in Omsk you need to make at least 50 centimeters. All standard projects of residential buildings with an area of ​​100-150 square meters are adapted to the region of construction (soil, climate, etc.). Usually these are one / two-story houses, with a garage or attic, basement.

Construction of a house from wood concrete blocks - ready-made blocks are used, made independently or purchased from a factory, in a building materials store. Pouring a monolithic building - with the installation of permanent formwork and pouring mortar into it. The technology differs only in the method of erecting walls, all other stages are carried out in the same way.

Construction features - step by step instructions

Before starting construction from wood concrete, you need to pay attention to the choice of high-quality material or get acquainted with the peculiarities of making blocks with your own hands. As a rule, prefabricated blocks have the best characteristics, so the first option is preferable. Arbolite is used in buildings with a maximum height of 7 meters (2-3 floors), if more floors are planned, it makes sense to think about columns, support pillars or other elements that can take part of the load on themselves.
