If you compare the brickwork with the masonry of foam blocks, the latter has a number of features. The use of traditional cement-sand solution is not recommended for such masonry, because foam concrete loses one important property-this is a high thermal insulation. Between individual blocks in the seams, a thick layer of such a solution freezes quite quickly, since the thickness of the walls is much less than the thickness of the walls of the brick. Therefore, in order to ensure the uniformity of the wall in terms of thermal insulation, it is necessary to connect the blocks with special glue, which will significantly reduce the thickness of the seams. Such adhesive masonry is allowed to carry out foam blocks that have a flat surface. For such work, a specially designed glue for foam concrete is used and prepared based on a sand-cement dry mix with the addition of special mineral, as well as organic plasticizers.
Today, mainly on the construction of the Russian market, the import of the mantry of German production is being imported. As a rule, it is sold in powdered form and packaged in bags, the weight of which is 25 kg. Imported glue frost -resistant and waterproof. It is divorced in the proportions indicated on the bag. When working with such glue, the thickness of the layer should be only 1-3 mm. It is used for masonry at a temperature of at least 0 degrees. The cost of such glue is from seven to ten dollars per bag.
