Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, 3 times higher than conventional bricks and can be compared with the characteristics of wood. No additional insulation is required! Reduce heating and cooling costs up to 40%.
Foam-concrete is completely clean environmentally friendly material.
Belongs to the group of non-combustible materials.
Foam-concrete is low weight material. It gives direst impact on cost reduction for transportation, use of reinforcing steel for foundation, labor costs, save time for finishing work because of already smooth surface.
The most modern way of building foam-concrete houses at the highest standards and competitive prices.
Cost-effective especially for construction of settlements. In case of flood it can be dry in 24hours.

Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds youtube.com/post/Ugkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7… . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.

These guys are better at building a house than making a video about building a house. They have the correct priorities.

Fema should get a contract with these people and use this company to build houses for all these people who have lots there homes,and are devastated ,we can use this company in Louisiana.

I grew up in South Africa until 1974, when I left and came to Europe, and in the last few years I was there, a company called Gazbeton (French for Gas Concrete) started building houses and other buildings from foam concrete. They sold it in long blocks about 1ft wide (from memory) and 9" deep. I can't remember the length, but around 10-12 ft. The mouldings had a frog in the end, so the corner verticals were erected, then the walls filled in between them, all joined by putting concrete between them down the frog. Where the sections were too ,long, they could be cut with a simple hand wood saw - the concrete was made of tiny bubbles, like Aero-chocolate, and the teeth of the saw would simply break the bubble walls. They advertised it as having very good thermal properties - easy enough to believe, as it was full of trapped air. They had built their HQ office building with it - 4 stories high. I just looked for it on YouTube, and I see they are still going strong - not only in S. Africa but all over the place. There are lots of videos. In short - foam concrete is not new.

We had similar houses built in 1970 by Roberts construction for district councils and at that time it did alleviate the housing shortages. The assembled concrete panels were joined, the structures are still solid to this day.

Imagine how much faster this would have been if they’d had a concrete truck.

The construction crews did an awesome job 👍

These men are SKILLED. They put that thing up like all bosses. My home looks lovely, when can I move in for free 😀😘.

That guy is a renderer, kitchen guy and electrician , plumber, concreter, waterproofer, all in one!

I like how realistic it is that exactly one guy does precisely 100% of the finish work with zero perceived effort.

Although this is a well constructed building, there are few things I noticed that we do differently in Alaska. When we put in the water and sewer we add protection around the pipes. This is because we have to follow guidelines for earthquakes. When we do the walls, we install the conduit for the wiring.

I have an idea, I am to old to start a new venture, but someone out there may want to pursue this idea. I would like to build aircrete logs. Based on the toys we all played with when we were kids, Lincoln logs. These could be pre-manufactured so really almost anyone could buy the logs and construct a building. There would need to be different lengths made say like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 feet etc. There would need to be some that had special ends with channels for doors and windows. There could be some that are pre wired with wall outlet boxes and switches. Logs could be pre-colored or surfaced in some cases. A building could be constructed permanently by bonding the logs together, or could be temporary and disassembled and moved. I think this could be an amazing new business that could revolutionize small buildings. And it would allow for any person to DIY.
