lightweight concrete
I have a vision that in the end product [concrete fence] would be to do it yourself if made of lightweight concrete says the CEO of one of the leading manufacturers of prefabricated fencing. This vision is now a reality with the introduction of lightweight concrete fence panels.
Lightweight concrete is produced by mixing cement, sand and water, and combined with a foam made by the action of compressed air and a chemical foaming agent. Foam from a series of small air pockets are not interconnected within the concrete mix. You can control the density of the final cast of concrete by controlling the amount of foam mixed use.
Fencing Panels made with this technique tend to have half the density of prefabricated panels in the market regularly. Some styles of panel weigh as little as 39 lb.For maximum force, the messages used in conjunction with the concrete panels are of high standard. These concrete fence systems are designed to meet the levels of wind speed of 110 mph or more.
The lightweight panels allow two people to install high concrete fence of 6 ‘without heavy equipment. Installation in confined areas or sensitive landscapes is easy to achieve. The lightweight panels means more products can be transported by truck, resulting in transportation costs less, cost less energy and less pollution. The acoustic qualities of the CIS (compared to the sound that reflects the qualities of ordinary concrete) result in quieter confined spaces.
Other applications for fences and light concrete fence panels include siding, planters and fencing. CTC is a great opportunity for do-it-yourself crowd to easily build durable concrete structures.
Lightweight cellular concrete, also known as cellular concrete has been in business for over 60 years, but very few people know it exists. Foam concrete can be considered a type of concrete that has a large amount of small air bubbles inside. This property offers many exciting features and benefits.
The lightweight concrete can, for example, to produce blocks for the construction of affordable housing or cottages. Having built the walls, insulation is also possible with foam concrete, as it has good heat resistance parameters.
