Ytong AAC has proven to be a very durable material. There are numerous structures in many different climates worldwide, many over 75 years old, in excellent condition. Ecolite Ytong AAC will not rot, warp, rust, corrode, or otherwise decompose. Termites and other pests do not eat it. Ytong AAC will not burn. The millions of tiny cells in Ytong AAC cushion buildings from major force, preventing progressive collapse.

Autoclaved aerated concrete is extremely durable. It does not rot or decay like wood or other organic materials. It does not rust like metal. Termites and other pests do not eat it. AAC will not burn. The millions of tiny cells in AAC cushion buildings from major force, preventing progressive collapse. AAC has withstood earthquakes in Japan, the frigid temperatures of northern Europe, the harsh salt air of the French Riveria, and the hillside fires of San Fransisco.

The structural span for floor/roof and wall panels depends on the live and dead loads and the thickness of the panel. for wall panels, the maximum structural span depends on the design load and thickness of panels. However, wall panels can be designed for almost all design loads typically required by national design codes.

Yes. You may use the same Cherry-Pit-Pac for hot or cold. If you desire a cold pack just put the Cherry-Pit-Pac in a plastic freezer bag and place in the freezer. It will take about one hour to get cold. You may keep the Cherry-Pit-Pac in the freezer for as long as you like ? days, months. If the Cherry-Pit-Pac has been stored in the freezer and you need in hot. It can be layed out to thaw for a bit or carefully defrosted in the microwave.

Typical interior finishes such as plastering, acrylic paint, ceramic tiles, and wood panel can be used over Ytong AAC walls. Vinyl wall covering should not be used since it creates a vapor barrier, which may lead to growth of molds and delaminating of wall covering.

All commercial available roofing systems can be used over Ytong AAC roof. Generally speaking, when Ytong AAC roof panels are used flat or near flat, they are covered with a membrane system such as built-up or EPDM. On a pitch, they are often covered with concealed fastener metal roofs or shingles.

Many of the conventional exterior finishing systems such as one coat plastering (sometimes referred to as a hard coat system) and two coat systems can be used over Ytong AAC as an exterior finish. Other options such as brick veneer, stone and siding can be used and have been used in many residential projects.

Although the mix of Ytong AAC material and CMU blocks is not required in most cases, there is no technical restriction to prohibit the use of both products.

Ytong AAC is probably the safest building product available. Ytong AAC is a non-toxic product that does not pollute the air, land or water. During the manufacturing process, waste from the cutting process is recycled back with raw materials and used again. During construction, there is virtually no waste generated. Ytong AAC products were designed to respond to the urgent need to conserve and protect the earth's precious natural resources.

No. Ytong AAC was first commercially produced in 1923 in Sweden. Since then, Ytong AAC construction systems such as masonry units, reinforced floor/roof and wall panels and lintels have been used on all continents and every climatic condition.

Standard elastomeric paint, traditional or synthetic stucco, thin brick facing, tile, siding materials or any other building finish can be used on the outside of Ytong AAC walls. Inside, Ytong AAC walls can be finished with plaster, textured paint, gypsum drywall or any other interior finish.

Yes, in fact it will last longer. The durability of Ytong AAC has been proven in every type of climate in the world for over 75 years.

Almost never. Ecolite Ytong AAC walls are insulated by millions of tiny air cells which reduce thermal conductivity. The thick walls also benefit from high thermal mass, much like a log home.

Easily. People often imagine that wiring will be a challenge due to the solid structure of Ytong AAC blocks. When they discover how versatile and workable Ytong AAC really is, they are pleasantly surprised. There are 2 standard methods for installing wiring in Ytong Autoclaved Aerated Concrete walls. Many installers use a combination. Routing: Build the walls first. The electrician draws directly on the block to indicate where the wires will go.

CUA is busy producing a model specifically for extremely cold climates, however the present model can already be used with certain modification. Contact your local Eloo distributor for details.

Start by lightly chamfering about 1/16" wide all the way around. Then file this to a smooth radius. That is the minimum for all edges and is still considered "sharp". Normaly most smiths like a large radius on a short section of the anvil. I would make this a 3/16" to 1/4" radius (this is a large anvil) for about the first 3" from the shoulder at the horn. Then the straight sides (not the square horn) would be radiused to about 1/8".

A Our tubs were created in Alaska for hot tubbing in that harsh climate. Roger Evans came up with the concept and brought it to fruition while a physics student at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. There are three ways to deal with freezing when you leave your tub untended in sub-freezing temperatures for an If electricity is available, many owners swear by using electric stock tank heaters to keep their tub from freezing.

In warmer temperatures, the butane gas pressure increases which may increase the flame height and/or cause missed ignition.Simply decrease the flame height a fraction. Warning: Never expose a lighter to heat above 50?C (120?F) or to prolonged sunlight (eg. car dashboard). It seems there is trapped air in the gas tank. Turboflame lighters run off butane gas. For butane to be propelled it needs to be mixed with air in a premium ratio.

Ytong Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (Ytong AAC) is well known as an environmentally friendly construction material. The production of Ytong AAC requires only a fraction of the energy compared to other materials. The manufacturing process emits no pollutants and creates no by-products or toxic waste products. Ytong AAC is manufactured from common and abundant natural raw materials.

Ytong AAC outperforms concrete and wood. Ytong AAC is the only durable, structural, thermal and fire rated material all in one product. For example, in wood construction, insulation and drywall must be added to make the wall fire rated and thermally compliant. In addition, insulation must be added to masonry to obtain reasonable thermal values.
