Why sawdust concrete in construction is much more profitable and has great advantages

Sawdust is a material whose main components are cement, sand and wood shavings. The material in its parameters most closely matches the wood, adopting all the positive qualities from it, and the cement part provides strength and stability.

Scope of application

All kinds of structures are built from sawdust concrete. It is used both for walling and for insulation. The most common application example is the private construction of small houses. It is used for both residential and house buildings.

There are four concrete grades. Two of them are used only for insulation of buildings, as they have insufficient strength, and the rest for the erection of walls of houses. The more sand and cement are in the composition, the greater the strength, moisture and frost resistance of sawdust concrete.

Material benefits

• Sawdust concrete can be made independently by arbitrarily mixing the components;
• Blocks made of sawdust concrete are lightweight, so for houses made of this material a solid foundation is not needed, therefore, the time for construction is reduced;

• Bricks and blocks made of sawdust concrete have sufficient softness so that they can cut off excess from them and adjust them to the required dimensions;
• Walls made of such a material have high vapor permeability, which allows them to “breathe”;
• By changing the ratio of organic and inorganic components, it is possible to increase moisture resistance and strength, as well as indicators of thermal conductivity;
• Compared with cinder blocks, all components of sawdust concrete are environmentally friendly and clean;
• Due to the special impregnation of sawdust for sawdust concrete, the blocks have low combustibility;
• The use of this material is possible without the professional help of builders, it is enough to study the rules of work;
• If it is planned to warm the building with sawdust concrete, then additional foundation strengthening is not required;
• Blocks have a long service life.

Favorable cost

Sawdust in comparison with the price of other materials is more affordable. On average, the cost of the material is 3-4 rubles lower than wall blocks made of sand and screenings. At the same time, sawdust concrete has more advantages: it is warm and light.

One block of sawdust concrete is able to replace 7 bricks, the price of each of which is 7 rubles. Thus, the wall of sawdust will cost the owner of the building 2.5 times less than that of bricks. Provided that the work can be done independently, the savings are significant.
