Sawdust: ways of using in construction
Sawdust: ways of using in construction
In the last few years in the manufacturing industryand the use of building materials, the idea of using organic aggregates and composite is becoming more popular. So some manufacturers have already "dubbed" sawdust with the most versatile material of this century. So how are they used in the modern construction industry?
"Know-how": screed from sawdust
This kind of screed has several importantadvantages, in comparison with other analogues. The first and very important is the ecological purity and absence of harmful components for the human body. The second is the cheapness of making the screed, which is 70% composed of sawdust, usually standing "copecks" or even given away for nothing. The third is the ability of such a screed to retain heat. In this case, even may not need additional insulation. The technology of such a screed consists of two stages or layers. The original is designed to retain the above heat, and the second is very durable and has abrasion resistance. For the first solution, the following recipe is bred - one part of cement, two parts of sand and six parts of sawdust. For the second - one part of cement, two parts of sand and three parts of sawdust. Another plus of this solution is the lack of so-called freezing, which is typical of traditional cement screed.Use of sawdust in the production of building materials
Usually in this industry, sawdust is combined withwith the same cement. As a result, you can get, for example, the so-called sawdust concrete, which is ideal for building monolithic houses. In addition to two components, water is also used in the production of these building materials. The advantages of sawdust concrete are the high sound and heat insulation values that are provided by the use of sawdust. Such material is not combustible, it helps maintain a healthy indoor microclimate and is prepared from four parts of sawdust, which is pre-filled with hot water for half an hour, and one part of the cement. The arbolite is another strong building material that is made from sawdust or wood shavings. It has excellent thermal insulation properties, and is also produced in two formulations - traditional (with cement) and budgetary (cement is replaced with clay or ordinary lime). It also does not burn, is resistant to low temperatures and putrefaction, but unfortunately not moisture resistant. -blocks are another very interesting solution for the use of wood drinks in the production of building materials. They are made with the use of sawdust, as well as cement and copper sulfate. The latter are impregnated with wood shavings, which are then dried and mixed with cement in a ratio of 1 to 8. At the same time, the modern demand for building materials remains on the side of traditional bricks, which, although quite expensive, are nevertheless synonymous with quality and reliability. But here again, construction materials from sawdust will always find their place - from them you can build economic buildings, non-residential buildings and much more.
