Frequently asked questions
Q. What is it SOLEID Light weight concrete?
Q. What are the advantages of pre-formed foam?
Q. What are the disadvantages of lightweight concrete, compared to typical concrete?
Q. Is lightweight concrete chemically compatible with common additives?
Q. What additives are common to cellular concrete?
Q. What is the correct water to cement ratio for the cement water slurry?
Ans. Typically, a .5 water to cement ratio slurry consisting of two parts cement to one part of water is typically used as a base mixture for lightweight concrete. The water cement ratio varies according to specific project requirements. Note that lightweight concrete obtains its natural fluidity from the air bubble structure, not from excess water content.Q. Does lightweight concrete mix contain either fine or course aggregate?
Q. What type of cement is appropriate for lightweight concrete?
Q. Is it appropriate to reinforce cellular concrete with synthetic fibers?
Q. Do the bubbles in lightweight concrete collapse, reducing its volume?
Q. What are the different densities and strengths available?
Q. How much does lightweight concrete cost?
Q. Is lightweight concrete suitable for long-term use as a marine float device?
Q. How do I test lightweight concrete to determine it is performing to specs?
