At the beginning of 2020, especially in January, Indonesia is still in a period of a rainy climate. Almost every day it rains in most parts of Indonesia which can cause many negative impacts. Cheapest Bata Ringan On Medan Among them are that it can cause flooding and even landslides due to the lack of available soil absorption and also the lack of water flow such as sewers in big cities. Moreover, the river that has been polluted can trigger flooding. Waste from factories, large and home industries, garbage disposed of into rivers are several triggers for flooding accompanied by heavy rainwater that falls, increasing the volume of water in the river and eventually the water will overflow into residential areas and onto the streets. If this applies continuously for a long time, it will be very unsettling for residents because it can make the surface of the walls of the house more humid so that it is easy to grow moss plants which of course will result in the surface of the walls turning green and emitting an unpleasant odor. Cheapest Bata Ringan On Medan This will not happen if the material used by the building has a more impermeable ability to water. So that there will be no moss growth on its surface and it will also dry more quickly after being submerged in water.
Moreover, in Indonesia the rainy season lasts quite a long time, between 4-5 months. It is unimaginable if within 4 months and almost every day it rains, a building that is not equipped with a material that is more impermeable to water will continue to experience moisture so that the fungus that triggers moss will certainly grow very quickly so that over time the material from the walls it will be subjected to weathering so that the walls become brittle and even more easily crushed. This can be exemplified from a building whose walls have a white color turning greenish - green because they are overgrown with moss. This means that the material used for the walls does not have a high waterproof ability so that the walls become easily damp and overgrown with moss. This can be anticipated by replacing the old wall material with lightweight brick wall material which is more impervious to water. Why should you choose light brick? Because lightweight bricks are made with the best AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) technology, which during the manufacturing process adds air bubbles to the mortar so that it will reduce the weight of the concrete produced drastically. This is what makes light bricks 3x lighter weight but still has good compressive strength.
Currently light brick is a trend among building contractors because it has many significant advantages compared to red brick. If you use lightweight bricks as a building material, of course, it can provide many advantages for building owners, in terms of costs, if more bricks are needed, the less costs will be incurred. Likewise with the construction costs, because light brick work is fast enough, the costs incurred for masonry services can also be minimized. The installation of lightweight bricks is also quite practical because the installation only requires instant cement or what is commonly known as cement mortar as the adhesive, which if we use instant cement we only need to mix instant cement with water. This can also minimize the cost of buying the sand needed if we use red brick which requires a mixture of cement and sand for installation. So that if the calculation of light brick installation is very profitable and can save in terms of time and cost. This is a factor of consideration for customers who have chosen lightweight bricks as a material for their buildings.
The estimation of calculating light bricks for a standard size brick with a thickness of 7.5 cm with a wall area of 13 m2 can be filled with 111 pcs of light bricks. In the sense that the larger the area to be installed with light bricks, the more light bricks are needed to fill the area. For a 10x60x20 brick size requires 1zak of adhesive, 4zak of plaster and 1zak of plaster. And usually the thickness of the cement mortar used for light brick is 3mm flat. To make calculations easier, here we give you a little picture.
