Guides for lightweight wall decisions.
How is Redblok made? Lightweight concrete block or AAC? What drives block prices, how much does 1 m³ of lightweight concrete weigh, how is the wall built? We answer the questions engineers, architects and contractors ask most, with the reasoning behind them.
Lightweight concrete block
Clay brick or lightweight concrete block?
Evaluate clay bricks and lightweight concrete blocks by dead load, thermal conductivity, and wall construction efficiency for your project.
Read articleLightweight concrete block or AAC? Differences and choice
How a lightweight concrete block differs from autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC): how the pores form, what the autoclave changes, shrinkage and tolerance, and how to choose. TÜRKBETON does not make AAC.
Read articleWhat drives lightweight concrete block prices?
Lightweight concrete block prices depend on density class, block size, total quantity, distance from the factory, season and testing. How to convert wall m² to block volume and what a quote needs.
Read articleLightweight concrete weight: how many kg is 1 m³?
How much 1 m³ of lightweight concrete weighs by density class, why fresh and dry density differ, how density is checked in every batch, and a building-scale comparison with normal concrete.
Read articleCan lightweight concrete block replace thermal insulation?
Can lightweight concrete block replace thermal insulation? Conductivity targets for Redblok density classes, an R-value comparison with insulation boards, moisture effects and use in TS 825.
Read articleHow to build a wall with lightweight concrete blocks
Building a wall with lightweight concrete blocks: first-course levelling, mortar or thin-joint adhesive, cutting, service chases, frame ties and mesh before plaster.
Read articleWhat is foam concrete, and how does it differ from Redblok?
What foam concrete is, where it is used and how it differs from Redblok lightweight concrete block: where it is made, mix design, density declaration, batch records and size.
