AERATED, LIGHTWEIGHT, FOAMED CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY FROM THE

Amongst a range of lightweight masonry blocks which can be produced from LITEBUILT® foamed concrete, our KIBLOK – patented worldwide – is probably the most interesting product.

KIBLOK is a mortarless, interlocking lightweight block which saves on construction time, which can be produced in various densities. It features high insulation values, is fireproof and can be made in several sizes, although certain symmetrics need to be taken into account.

We can supply molds and machinery needed for the production of these lightweight aerated concrete blocks and are looking for Licensees around the globe.

Architectural Ornamentation is a natural application for LITEBUILT® foamed concrete. Dramatical reduction in weight (typically by ½ or ⅔) makes it a lot easier to handle and support, without loosing the durability aspect of concrete.

Fireplaces in natural stone are often too heavy for some structures, especially if they are retrofitted. Moreover, our cellular concrete provides excellent insulation, reducing the risk of fire.

Our lightweight aerated concrete ornamentation products can be produced in a wide range of finishes, such as marble, sandstone, slate of any color. The product range includes columns, bench tops, ledges, arches, tiles etc – anything which can be cast in molds. For sculpting, large blocks of our aerated concrete can be cast and sculpted, using woodworking tools.

Low Cost Housing projects the world over are generally very competitive, large in volume but low in margin for the developer. Our cellular concrete can provide the competitive edge, since it is up to 40% cheaper compared with regular concrete.

In most cases, on-site stack-casting of panels is employed, using ready mix trucks which are charged with sand, cement and water before the foam is added. The trucks discharge the lightweight concrete directly into the molds.

In certain parts of the world, cast-in-place (in situ casting) is preferred, in particular in seismic zones where a column-and-beam structure is required. This can be incorporated in the structure.
