Long standing, detailed and documented studies demonstrate the importance of thermal conductivity in the design of low energy consumption buildings.
By using clay construction materials of a density greater than 1000 kg/m³ from 25 to 30 cm, in the outer structure of the buildings, we can achieve 30-60% saving of fuel consumption compared to buildings that have sufficient thermal insulation but no thermal collection capacity.
The structural compounds of ECO-BLOCK present:
- Great capacity of thermal collection and sound insulation, equivalent to the clay mass. The larger the bricks are, the more thermal saving and the more sound attenuating they are.
- Excellent antiseismic conduct, enhancing the resistance of the reinforced concrete frame since they constitute a single brick wall which doubles the resistance of the frame, as it has been observed after relevant measures that were carried out. More concretely, in case of small-scale earthquakes, single brick walls are quite resistant in rupture, consequently, expensive repair works are avoided.
- Great fire proofing maintaining their static capacity for more than 300 min without producing poisonous gases.
- Balance of the humidity of the area by maintaining the quality of the interior climatic conditions and contributing to the longevity of the concrete.
