Slagblock by own hands: the right approach

The diversity of today's construction market pleasantly surprises, but not everyone can afford to buy new, not expensive materials. A person is forced to seek pu For an independent solution of the problem. Many options for making materials are quite popular, many have long been forgotten. But now the cinder block with its own hands is still being made. What is it so popular. Most people are built and often use slag blocks for their garages, sheds and other buildings. It is preferred to make it manually at home, because the technology does not cause serious complications. In this case, the cash outflow is significantly reduced. Some enterprising people even try to earn on this by hiring people who pour slag blocks with their own hands.

Manufacturing process

What is necessary, in order to pour the cinder block at home with your own hands? The most important role is played by the form itself, on which this building material is made. It is sold in specialized stores, but make it Independently is not difficult. The casting mold has the form of a rectangle to which handles are welded on the sides. She does not have a bottom. To do it yourself, it's enough to take metal plates, weld them in the form of a rectangle according to the required internal dimensions of the cell.

According to the standard, the form has cells for three slag blocks, but you can do more. Forms are also non-standard, but these are already various production subtleties. In general, there are two standards for the internal dimensions of a cell:

1. 310х150х150 mm - the standard block type;
2. 450х200х200 mm - most often used for foundations.

Internal partitions must be removable. When pouring, they are installed in the mold; When the block begins to harden, the partitions are removed. The solution for casting, in principle, is similar in composition to the cement-sand mortar, only with a different filler.

Composition of the solution:

• 1 part of cement is used;
• 3 parts are added, preferably without impurities;
• Slag is 5 parts.

In general, a person can organize production with their own hands and at the same time do not use any factory-made devices. All that will be somehow necessary in the work, you can easily do yourself. For example, you need an electric rammer. It can be made from springs and iron plates, put a light engine - and the device is ready for use.

It is necessary to know
You probably already saw that the cinder block by its own hands is not so difficult. But it will help to significantly reduce costs. Use in the solution as a filler can not only slag, it is fine for this and clay, but at a cost it is more expensive than slag.

To increase the thermal insulation properties, a plastic bottle is installed inside the cell (voids are formed). It is removed after the block has hardened a little. The slag block, with its own hands, made with voids, helps to better keep the heat in the buildings. In the buildings constructed with the use of such building material, in the summer it will be cool, and in winter it is cozy and warm.
