Building and Construction Uses |
| Floor Decks Reduces structural weight while maintaining quality of concrete floor Can be used for leveling
|
| Roof Decks Reduces weight & provides thermal and sound insulation Moderate slopes are possible
|
| Precast Specialties Reduces weight and cost Reduces transport costs/Allows more pieces per truckload Easier installation
|
| Improves Workability One to two cubic feet can greatly improve workability
|
| Grouting Block wall, doors, and windows
|
| Thermal Backfill and Sub-slab Fill Provides thermal insulation, water resistance, and reduces hydrostatic lateral load on foundation
|
| Interior Walls Cast on site tilt-up or panel assemblies Reduces weight and cost below full density concrete wall More soundproof and fi re resistant than stud wall
|
| Retaining Wall Base Proper mix design will be self leveling and can greatly speed base construction
|
| Sidewalks, Patios, and Porch Decks Reduces weight and cost
|
| Slabjacking Flows, penetrates and fills under whole slab, reducing pressure needed and cracking
|
| Cast in Place tubs and showers Weight reduction reduces need for structural support

should the extensive plumbing and electrical system need revision or repair. Stabilizes pipes and
electrical conduits. Thermal insulation properties of cellular concrete help protect against freezing.|
