By name, slag blocks, it becomes clear that these are products from ordinary slag. True, the best may be sore or metallurgical fillers. 10-20% sand and cement. Such blocks are obtained quite heat -resistant. The lightness and strength of the cinder block determines the fractional size of the filler particles, that is, slag. If the particles are large, but not more than 1cm. then the block will turn out to be lightweight, but not durable. When using small slag fractions, the blocks will be harder in weight, but with a good characteristic of strength.
Economically, it turns out appropriate, the use of such blocks in suburban housing construction. However, it should be noted that they are very hygroscopic and with low indicators for heat transfer. External walls are subject to mandatory plaster or decoration with materials not allowing direct moisture. Here it is advisable to use finishing materials, such as: siding, lining, block house, hinged facade panels. With proper use of the protection of slag blocks from direct moisture, reliably guarantees the stability, strength and durability of the building or structure.
