Vad kan man isolera med?

Det finns en rad olika isolermaterial att välja mellan; sten- och glasull, olika kvaliteter av cellplaster samt flera olika naturfiberbaserade material (ex vis träull, cellulosa, hampa,halm).

Vilken isolering är bäst för miljön?

Isoleringar med naturfiber kan fördela fukt och kräver inte sårbara plastfolier. Det ger robustare konstruktioner än de med mineralfiber. Lösfyllning med träfiber eller cellulosafiber är ett beprövat och bra sätt att isolera väggar och takkonstruktioner, men de som innehåller borsalter bör undvikas.

What are the disadvantages of cinder blocks?

Cinder blocks are still used today but are prohibited in some building applications under building codes. The blocks are prone to moisture damage, buckling, bowing, and lack the tensile and shear strength of concrete blocks. Another drawback to cinder blocks was the toxic nature of the coal ash used in their manufacture.

Where can I find old cinder blocks?

You may also find old cinder blocks at renovation or rebuild stores. Today, old formula cinder blocks are more common near coal-burning plants, those further away have to ship in coal ash or pumice and so use it as a mixing agent instead of an aggregate.

What are cinder blocks used for?

The fireproof blocks were used in all facets of construction, from foundation to interior walls. Cinder blocks had many uses in the construction industry until about 50 years ago when poured concrete wall construction became more common.

What is the size of a cinder block?

Cinder blocks come in 4”, 6”, 8” and 12” thicknesses (widths) and 2”, 4” and 8” heights. The 8-inch height matches three rows of standard clay bricks, and the 16-inch length compares to 2 brick lengths.
