Keramsite Technology

Houses made of expanded clay are extremely durable and resistant to damage. Thus, expanded clay technology is dreamed of especially for the construction of halls, warehouses or houses in harsh conditions. Below is everything you should know about it.

What exactly is expanded clay technology?

Keramzite is a natural aggregate that is fired from clay and formed into small balls. At a temperature of about 1,000 degrees Celsius, bringing the clay to a boil produces a hard but porous material that is filled with air inside. As you can easily guess, it’s a dream material for building houses – especially today, when proper insulation counts more than ever.

Why are homes made of expanded clay so popular right now?

The most important features of the expanded clay wall are very high strength, thermal and acoustic insulation. In addition, expanded clay technology guarantees high resistance to radiation, biological agents and moisture.

How are houses made of expanded clay produced?

To make a wall, expanded clay is mixed with sand and cement in a ratio of 70% expanded clay and 30% of the other ingredients. Then, in a special process, it is poured onto huge tables, on which the wall for the ordered house is formed. The finished dried and armed walls leave the factory by wheeled transport and are delivered to the construction site. There, using appropriate systems, the walls are connected to the foundation and roof, and your dream house is built almost before your eyes in the space of 3-5 days.

What should be kept in mind when planning a house made of expanded clay?

  1. A house made of expanded clay is suitable where weather or acoustic resistance is key. This material is also suitable for warehouses, halls or concert halls.

  2. A house made of expanded clay will work well when high fire resistance is required.

  3. A house made of expanded clay during installation requires a good driveway for heavy equipment and space for unloading.

  4. A house made of expanded clay is best entrusted to a team with experience in installation.

  5. Securing financing. The short construction process requires proper planning of the following works in succession. A down payment will be required before the factory begins production. Finishing work will also come earlier and sooner which, with inflation in place, can yield savings.

  6. Construction is not seasonal, which means you can put up a house regardless of the season. You don’t have to lose your vacations because of the need to keep an eye on the team during this time. Choose a time that suits you – it’s best and cheapest to build when construction crews have less work to do.

  7. Ask the factory about interior walls and elevations – we may be able to prepare them for you during production.

  8. If you want to build on weak ground – rather think about a lighter wood wall.

Houses made of expanded clay - opinions

When it comes to homes made of expanded clay, user reviews are mostly very positive. This is related, among other things, to how perfectly such walls accumulate heat. Now that there is so much talk about passive houses and the amount of electricity bills, this is becoming crucial for many investors. Accumulation wall in a house made of expanded clay? Feedback on this type of – for now experimental – solution is increasingly promising, and we are sure that the rapid development of this technology will soon provide even more opportunities.

Houses made of expanded clay – projects in which it is possible to use this technology

Thanks to the repeatability of the processes during the creation of homes from expanded clay, projects can be completed in record time. This is one of the technologies, the main advantage of which is scalability – we build houses or garages for individual investors, as well as implement projects of houses from expanded clay on developer estates. On the basis of expanded clay technology, both modern and more traditional buildings are built. In fact, after all, the facade can even be covered with wood, so nothing stands in the way of creating a house made of expanded clay from the design of a mountain cottage or a traditional habitat. Above all, it is a chance to realize the dream of a house for those who have an unusual plot of land. As for moisture or wind, they can withstand it much better than wooden houses.

Expanded clay technology - summary of information

What is expanded clay technology in construction? Expanded clay technology uses expanded clay aggregate walls, which are durable, weatherproof, heat and sound insulating. It is ideal for the construction of houses, halls or warehouses.

  1. Why are expanded clay houses so durable? Expanded clay houses are durable thanks to expanded clay aggregate, which is fired from clay at high temperatures. The resulting hard and porous material is resistant to damage.

  2. How are expanded clay houses produced? Keramzite houses are produced by mixing expanded clay with sand and cement. In a special process, walls are formed on tables, and the finished elements are transported by wheel transport to the construction site, where they are assembled in 3-5 days.

  3. Why are expanded clay houses making waves? The most important features of an expanded clay wall are strength, excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. The expanded clay technology also guarantees resistance to radiation, biological agents and moisture.

  4. Where is an expanded clay house best suited? Keramzite houses are ideal in locations where weather or acoustic resistance is crucial, such as warehouses, halls or concert halls.

  5. Does an expanded clay house require special preparation before assembly? Yes, the assembly of an expanded clay house requires a good driveway for heavy equipment and space for unloading. It is worth entrusting the assembly to a team with experience in this technology.

  6. What are the financial benefits of building a house from expanded clay? The short process of building a house from expanded clay allows for savings due to inflation. In addition, the house can be erected regardless of the season, which allows for better planning of the works.

  7. Is an expanded clay house seasonal to build? No, building a Keramzite house is not seasonal. It can be erected whatever the season, giving you flexibility in planning and avoiding lost time.

  8. What financial issues are worth considering before building a Keramsite house? Securing finance is a key step, and it is also worth considering additional costs such as finishing work and transport. Planning your payments can save you money.

  9. Is expanded clay technology only applicable to modern projects? No, expanded clay technology is scalable and can be used in a variety of designs, both modern and traditional. Houses made of expanded clay can take a variety of architectural forms.

Individual projects

You have not found a ready solution for yourself …. nothing lost.

In the presented projects you can make adaptations and necessary changes.

It is not always worth it, therefore, we can also design for you a dream house from scratch (taking into account the needs of your family, land conditions and local development conditions).

If you already have a finished project from another company – we are able to price its construction if we get the right materials.

Technologie Prefabrykacji

Pod tą nazwą kryją się wszystkie technologie  budowy, w których gotowe ściany i duże elementy budowlane wytwarza się  w fabryce, poza miejscem budowy. 

Podstawowa cześć procesu budowy zaczyna się w fabryce. Wszystkie duże elementy takie jak ściany, dachy, schody czy stropy przygotowywane są w zakładach produkcyjnych metodami przemysłowymi.

Obecnie technologia prefabrykacji jest coraz bardziej zaawansowane i pozwala na wysoki poziom dokładności jakości i unikaniu typowych błędów.
