Ceramic block

Ceramic blocks are also made of building ceramics. Reviews of the ceramic block largely depend on the specific size and manufacturer of the material. The porous structure of ceramic blocks contributes to good heat and sound insulation. This is a modern material for the construction of houses, which has been used for only a few decades, but has already gained popularity.

Developer feedback on ceramic blocks

Ceramic blocks. With a smart approach - the best option for a warm home.
A comment
It has already been three years since I built a house of ceramic blocks (510 mm), in general I am satisfied with the blocks, the wall looks like this: from the inside there is facade plaster with inclusions of polystyrene foam (10-20 mm), then the ceramic block itself (510 mm), then the ventilation 40 mm gap and the final stage - facing brick (85mm).

The main thing in the construction of ceramic blocks is their correct masonry, because the solution does not fit into the vertical seams between the blocks, respectively, with uneven masonry, most of the advantages of these blocks are nullified. My workers did it mediocre, so I had to additionally make warm facade plaster from the inside.

I have gas heating, a boiler of 28 kW, at minus thirty on the street, in the house on the ground floor + 18C, in the attic + 20C, by the way, I also have to heat the bathhouse, so there are some heat losses. In general, the house is comfortable, if I had to once again choose the material for the walls, I would again choose ceramic blocks.
pros
Good heat-saving characteristics, construction speed, normal price.
Minuses
High-tech material, requires professional masonry.
Term of use
more than three years

Ceramic block - regretted the purchase
A comment
I do not advise buying a ceramic block. Pre-stocked materials for the construction of the future home. Choose-choose and choose on your own head. The imported ceramic block turned out to be of poor quality, that is, many units are cracked. It is clear that even an ordinary brick will not be brought all perfectly intact. To be honest, we were preparing for the battle, but we did not think that everything would be so sad.
More than 50% of the imported blocks were cracked. Although managers assured that the quality of the material is impeccable. Because of the cracks, naturally, the groove blocks will not become in the groove; I think that glue will be inappropriate to use here, and a lot of solution with this quality of material will be needed.

It is not yet possible to issue a return; the manufacturer refuses to change it for a cut. Discount for the battle, too, do not give. We are still in contact with official dealers, they sent a letter to the manufacturer, and we are waiting for an answer.
pros
not
Minuses
Terrible quality - fragile.
