Advantages

• Light in Weight: The density of CLC blocks vary from 600 to 800 Kg/cum. This is almost three times less than the traditional clay bricks or flyash brciks.
• Reduced Construction Cost: The overall dead load of structure is decreased when CLC blocks are used in construction. By optimizing the design accordingly house owners can save money on major construction materials like cement and steel.
• Eco friendly: CLC blocks are made of material such as fly ash and other industrial wastes. The production process of CLC blocks don’t release any harmful effluents that affects ground, water or air.
• Sound and Thermal Insulation: CLC Blocks are excellent for both Sound insulation and Heat Insulation. This decreases the energy spent on heating and cooling the houses thereby decreasing the electricity costs for the house owners.
• Lower Water Absorption: Due to the presence of air pockets which are not interconnected, the water absorption of CLC blocks are relatively lower than any other materials. This compares much better than concrete 50% and ordinary brick, which has water absorption of around 50% to 80%. The low water absorption property of these blocks will help to reduce the cracks in the walls.
• Fire Protection: Foam concrete blocks offers grate fire protection. With a just 100mm thickness of wall with density of 1000 kg/m3, offers fire endurance for heat transmission for 4 hours without releasing any toxic fumes during the fire. Fire rating of cellular concrete is far superior to that of brickwork or dense concrete.
• Ease to Handling: Due to its less weight CLC blocks are easy to handle and install, thus minimizing the construction costs. They also require lesser materials like cement and sand during construction for bonding.
