I love the idea, use and flexibility of this product. Extra insulation can be installed, re-bar installed, cavities filled with concrete, blocks screwed together, drywall screwed to it, PL adhesive used between each block, etc. I believe this this meets fire rating for home construction except in California where decades decayed trees & dead brush are a protected wildlife species of stuff that wants to burn in dry lightening strikes. Well, enough about the country of California & the Idiots that live there and run the State while smoking good stuff on mushrooms for snacks.

I would like to understand the insulation values of this block. As I understand, it can be purchased insulated or with a polystyrene type insulation pre-installed inside the block prior to an order. Can rigid foam board be cut and installed in the field or does it have to factory formed. Say a 300mm (9 inch) is used and comes with insulation installed, what is the “R” value you could expect? Thanks for the information you have provided.

Thank you for bringing this product information to a mass audience. I am located in Omaha, NE and 90% of houses built are still on concrete block. While I possess a knowledge of the building process I find this product fascinating. Mike Holmes in Canada has a TV show “Holmes on Homes” and over his 10th season and has rocked the building community, contractors, inspectors and introduce suggested laws in Canadian government to increase minimum building standards and your block is a building material highly recommended by him. He built the “Ultimate Garage” off the grid for environmental reasons as easy of use, ability to add rebar, use strong adhesives during construction and added rigid extruded polystyrene inside the block. Adding “Sealing Water Barriers and unsalted 2” (50mm) board attached to the outside. This increases “R” values but done right, allows for a cement board horizontal siding and Stucco! His ultimate garage is on my bucket list. The possibilities are almost endless. I am curious regarding locations where the product is manufactured. Omaha is 2,500 miles from either coast in the middle with rail access and interstate East, West, North to South to Kansas City, Topeka KS, Wichita to Oklahoma City into Dallas / Fort Worth. North-East Nebraska is covered in trees and millions of tons of premier wood pulp is free due to almost annual winds to exceed 110 MPH. People stack it into 5 locations for the taking. Free building material for these blocks. Thanks kindly for the information provided in this video. I want some for my backyard garage! Be well and safe my friend. DK, Omaha

I’m really considering using this material ok two of my projects, one being a 12unit apartment complex and the other being a duplex. Do you know the lifespan of this material and general cost difference from stick frame?

Does it meet relevant R ratings? My Australian National Construction Code specifies R 2.8 for walls. Is it feasible to increase the R rating with your product using foamed aerated concrete and/or concrete with polystyrene mixed in?

Unfortunately, this method of construction is not suitable for the conditions of the larger territory of Russia. 1. We don't place Arbolit at ground level, but only on the foundation elevation. Because it is afraid of moisture. 2. If you do not put the blocks on the masonry mortar, then formed cold bridges, through which the concrete will enter the frosty air and cool it. And the cooled concrete will cool the inner wall of the block.

Hi, thanks for the insight. In terms of using mortar we only advocate this directly off the foundation on the first course, in order to achieve a good level at the best of the wall. There is a separate clip within the playlist covering this. It can be necessary if the foundation isn't perfectly level. Durisol is an open matrix material and does not support capillary action hence a solid wall can be constructed that will not draw in moisture. However, for this very reason, mortars should not be used above ground, especially not above the DPC as they can provide a path for moisture to travel via capillary action which we need to avoid.

How does it do with prolonged freezes? For example, during temperatures ranging from 0C to -39C for periods of 6 months.
@durisolukltd92893 жыл бұрын
Durisol in Canada have done some studies on this. There is research showing submerged freeze thaw cycle analysis which is particularly aggressive and the product fared perfectly well. There are also acoustic barriers in places like Canada which have been up for 40 years plus, fully exposed to the temperatures you describe as well as salt spray etc that freeway environments present.

How about some U numbers? Also, you mentioned it could be exposed so I guess it is UV stable?
@durisolukltd92894 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the question. U values are published in the Technical Manual and thermal conductivities in the BBA certificate should you wish to model your own configurations. Suffice to say U values below 0.2 can easily be achieved. It is worth pointing out that U values modelled in software fail to take into account thermal mass effects. They also assume a steady state of heat transfer and in the UK's temperate climate, the temperature is almost constantly moving which undermines the models somewhat. Peer reviewed papers studying real Durisol builds in the UK are available upon request showing the real energy demand (or lack thereof) of Durisol structures. And yes, the woodcrete is UV stable and is commonly used in acoustic panels which are permanently exposed structures. In any case, at Durisol UK we manufacture units for construction and the end product is usually covered.
