Concrete blocks with rebar and concrete fill.

traditional passive houses designs focused on thermal mass, heavier thicker walls allowed for more storage of solar energy for longer nights. ofc this design won't help when you don't have any sun, or in hot climates but dry continental climates where daily temperature fluctuations are the best for this type of construction

Hey Adam. Thanks. Cant answer that, because hollow concrete block need a lot og concrete to fill and more rebar. AAC blocks are with many different thickness. And leca have different mpa. Also there is huge difference in margins, when you order blocks for full house, you get a decent discount.

The reason you do not recommend AAC blocks for 2+ two-storey houses is the price I assume? Or are there some technical considerations as well?

@MarekKubi

2 жыл бұрын

Hey Jänes. Nothing bad with AAC on 2-storey house. Just as i know, then most guys here are using the lightest block with less than 3mpa. I would recomment at least 5mpa, since i personally suggest to make second floor from concrete and 3mpa sounds too weak for that plan. If you use trusses for second floor, then there is less stress to the construction, but horrible sound-insulation. Soviet time aac block were way heavier and they do last well. 3mpa is still new here. Fibo from the Weber is also well proven. I myself gonna build 1-story house with hollow concrete block, just my preference, since I like to work with them more and if I can get more durability with similar price, then I am all in. Just a reminder, that walls are very small % from all house cost, so price is not a factor in my opinion.

Here in Florida they build on slab with hollow concrete block. Would you recommend using one of the other options instead? Of course its very warm here most of the time.

@MarekKubi

Hei. Thanks for your comments. As I understand, then heavier blocks works better in a warm climate. If you have big temperature range between day and night. Concetrate more on windows, since they are main heaters at sunny days. Everyone like big windows, but they warm house more. You can build smaller windows especially on a southern side. Or some covers or something so it will stop straight sun in windows. Also you can plant trees on that side of plot, from where usually warm wind is coming. Here we protect our plot from cold northern wind in winter. Just take time and discuss with your husband and look at your compass, so you can project house according to sun movement.

The bedrooms and bath can be in the front then, facing south with smaller windows. Your videos are very informative to decide how to build here in Florida. Thank you!

If u coated AAC Blocks before the water test, it would not absorb that much water. They do build houses without some coationg on them

I feel like the AAC block would be prone to cracking in colder climates. More pockets mean more moisture and moisture in the winter time means ice. ICE expands. You’re better off with your standard Cinderblocks. They breathe better and are designed to also be stronger. That’s the point behind them not being better insulators.

Heh, in Ukraine there are many youtubers, who has built theyre houses with that block. For example channels like: MY GALAXY ; Семен Кузнецов. As I remember they used 30cm wide blocks for exterior walls. 10cm is for interior walls. And when the wall is taller than 2,6m, then it is recommended to use 15cm instead. Personally I recommend to insulate walls with rockwool. But if the house is built in south of Ukraine, then it may be no point to extra insulate 30cm AAC block walls.

Please don't recommend foam (styropor) isolation. It is very bad. Countries like Denmark, the Netherlands and Germany have gained many years of experience with styropor insulation and the like. It creates so many problems with inside humidity and fungae indoor, not to mention the dangers in case of fire. That is why these countries are using other insulation materials now.

Hey. I believe that proper ventilation does avoid problems. For some renovation projects, there may be some issues with moisture. Personally, I will build my concrete walls house with rock wool insulation. Even tho I am on a budget.

but bricks are suitable for high heat insulation that is suitable to most countries with cold climate

Im sorry why is insulation needed on AAC block? they how they designed - u use proper thickness and u dont need insulation. In worst case u insulate them with smth like multipor which is the same material but even less dense.
