Ultra series Light Weight Concrete
Lafarge's Ultra Light Weight Concrete is created with the addition of either polystyrene beads (non-structural) or a lightweight aggregate (structural) to the formula. Although both formulations are lightweight products, they have several important differences that make each one suitable to specific projects.
Polystyrene Light Weight Concrete (Non-structural):
Exceptionally low densities are obtainable
Superior insulation
Light Weight Aggregate Concrete (Structural):
Structural strengths obtainable at lower densities
Polystyrene Light Weight Concrete (Non-structural):
Can be hand packed
Cost effective solution
Minimal compaction required
Light Weight Aggregate Concrete (Structural):
Time saving with backfilling
Polystyrene Light Weight Concrete (Non-structural):
Insulation
Levelling/Screeds
Void filling
Light Weight Aggregate Concrete (Structural):
Structural light weight concrete requirements
Architectural finishes eg. Cladding
