CONCRETE FLOORS

Foamed concrete is a specialized type of lightweight concrete that incorporates tiny air bubbles into its composition, giving it a lower density compared to traditional concrete. These air bubbles are created by adding a foaming agent to the concrete mixture. The result is a material that is significantly lighter and offers a range of valuable properties and benefits.

One of the primary advantages of foamed concrete is its lightweight nature, which makes it especially useful in construction projects where reducing the overall weight of structures is crucial. This property is advantageous in applications such as floor screeds, where it provides a level and insulated surface, improving thermal and sound insulation properties.

Foamed concrete’s excellent thermal and sound insulation capabilities make it a preferred choice in projects where temperature control and noise reduction are essential, such as in the construction of energy-efficient buildings or soundproofing applications.

Additionally, foamed concrete offers fire resistance, which enhances its utility in fireproofing and fire barrier applications. Its ease of placement is another key attribute, as it can be readily mixed on-site and pumped or poured into molds, simplifying construction processes.
