Advantages of Besser Blocks |
|
|
|
|
|
| Nominal Dimensions: 400 x 200 x 200 /150 / 100 mm conforming to the principles of Modular co-ordination as per Indian Standards(IS). |
|
| Faster Construction due to light weight. |
|
| Seismic Construction: Combined with reinforcing steel and grout Besser Blocks can form a structure that can withstand powerful earthquakes, such as the ones in California, New Zealand and Japan. |
|
| Less mortar consumption: 0.009 cum/sqmtr V/s. 0.014 cum/sqmtr for solid blocks and 0.069 cum/sqmtr for clay bricks. |
|
| Energy efficient: Air conditioning power consumption can be reduced by 30%. |
|
| Reliable Supply all around the year. |
|
| Eco-friendly, no usage of top soil. |
|
| Better sound insulation. |
|
| Less plaster thickness due to higher dimensional accuracy: 8 to 10 mm V/s. 15 to 20 mm for solid blocks/ clay bricks. |
|
| Less water absorption : <7% V/s. 10 to 12% for solid blocks. |
|
| Reduction in concrete & steel: In case of framed structures upto 0.25 kg/sft of steel and 0.05cft/sft of concrete. |
|
| Chasing for electrical & plumbing service can be eliminated since these services can run through the cavities. |
|
| Lower dry shrinkage. Ensures against cracks. |
|
| Can be reinforced for shear loads both horizontally & vertically. |
|
| Higher carpet area to builtup area. |
