ISOTEX building blocks

Speed of construction, heat storage, lower heating/cooling costs, energy saving – these are the ISOTEX blocks for the house

Once a house is built, it is easy to change the interior or exterior decoration, furniture, and household appliances in the future, but we will never be able to change the materials used in its construction. The correct choice of ISOTEX building blocks used for construction will determine not only the construction process, speed, and cost-effectiveness of the building, but also ensure the quality of life in it.

1. Speed of construction

Up to three times faster construction than conventional masonry because:

– ISOTEX blocks are placed dryly on top of each other, flooding them with concrete every six rows. This saves time, as they do not need to be glued. – Walls are built immediately insulated, there is no need to wait for insulation materials to be brought, there is no need to insulate the façade or wall from the garage side.
– There is no need to make formwork for lintels and monolithic ring.
– No need to tie reinforcement for a monolithic ring.
– There is no need to install window removal profiles.
– The walls are plastered. This saves time, since there is no need to install drywall.
– Easy to install a ventilated façade.
– When constructing a building from blocks from other manufacturers and choosing corner windows, they require additional metal supports and their additional installation. When building with ISOTEX, when the window openings in each direction do not exceed 3 m, metal supports in the corners are not required. This feature saves not only time, but also construction costs.

2. Heat storage, lower heating/cooling costs, energy saving

– The concrete inside the ISOTEX block creates a center of gravity that accumulates heat. Concrete absorbs the heat from the building, and the closed-pore neopore from BASF on the outside radiates it back. For these reasons, even if the heating of the house stops, its internal temperature will drop up to two times slower compared to a brick building of analogous construction built from other building materials.
– When cooling the building during the warm season, the coolness is “stored” in the inner and outer walls of the building, so the house remains fresh and cool for a longer period of time.
– ISOTEX blocks are capable of storing heat. Much less money is spent on heating and ventilation of houses built on these blocks compared to others.

3. Energy Saving

– Due to the unique construction of the building built from ISOTEX blocks, in addition to the usual heat source, the house uses all the heat energy generated in the premises for heating: heat emitted by people, animals, hot water steam, cooked food, electronics or household appliances, cars, lighting, electrical wires, etc.

4. Sound insulation up to 61dB

– Many are used to living in houses with weak sound insulation, insulated with polystyrene or neopor. With the choice of ISOTEX blocks, loud music, barking dogs, loud fireworks, passing cars, motorcycles or other noise sources will no longer disturb your peaceful rest. Both the outer and inner walls of the house, built of ISOTEX blocks, perfectly suppress all sound waves.
– The structural material of the ISOTEX block absorbs sound so well that it is even used to make sound barriers, acoustic overlays and acoustic walls.

5. No condensation, mold

– The wall of the house, built of ISOTEX blocks, does not create an “aquarium effect”, in contrast to a brick wall insulated with expanded polystyrene or neopor; the wall of a frame house, insulated with moisture-proof films; wall made of SADWICH panels or other moisture-proof wall. – During construction works, the walls of the house absorb a large amount of moisture, which occurs during rain, concreting, plastering or painting works. It usually takes up to two years for a conventional masonry wall to dry completely. The ISOTEX wall is not closed to moisture, so the drying of such a building will take a short time, there will always be a pleasant microclimate in such a house, no mold harmful to health will appear.
– The transfer of moisture through the walls from ISOTEX is so effective that during finishing work in winter, it is possible to observe how ice strips form on the outside of the house.

6. The building is fire resistant

– Although ISOTEX blocks are made of wood and neopor, the building built from them is classified as non-combustible buildings.

7. Secure Building

– Houses built from ISOTEX can protect against nearby explosions, shrapnel, bullets.

8. Seismic resistance

– Due to their seismic resistance, buildings built from ISOTEX blocks are popular in earthquake zones.

9. Sustainable building

– More than 90 percent of the composition of the block consists of spruce wood, about 8 percent minerals, and the remaining 2 percent is cement. Neopore made from certified sustainable biomass is used as a thermal insulating material.

10. Financial benefits

– Depending on the construction of the building, the total cost of building a wall from the ISOTEX system can be up to 12 percent lower compared to the price obtained by using other building materials.
– The ISOTEX wall “works” on the principle of accumulation, which results in lower heating and ventilation costs.
– Unnecessary moisture collectors.
– Building the same land area with ISOTEX often results in a larger square footage of the interior than building with other materials. In comparison, the interior area of an ordinary house for one family can become larger from several to a dozen m2. This property will become additional earnings in the event of the sale of the building.
– The added value of a house built from ISOTEX blocks is higher than the usual one, so such a house will be sold more expensive in the future.

Non-standard building blocks ISOTEX

Blocks to facilitate work: external and internal corners; propellers – to facilitate corner installation; openings and lintels, columns, crown blocks and non-erect corners. All non-standard blocks are designed for HDIII blocks.

1. ISOTEX block with thermal insulation
2. Horizontal reinforcement (according to project)
3. Vertical reinforcement (according to project)
4. Pouring concrete C20/25 (according to the project)
5. Plaster layer
6. Puttying, priming
7. Finishing paint/decorative plaster
