The construction of a garage from slag blocks, in contrast to the construction of ordinary brick, has a number of features that you should know about before choosing this particular building material. The slag block has large geometric sizes compared to brick.
Large dimensions mean a larger amount of air inside the cinder block, due to which its thermal conductivity is worse than the brick, which means that the garage from slag blocks will be warmer. The peculiarity of loading and unloading work is associated with large sizes.
If the brick can be poured out in bulk from vehicles and the usual percentage of the battle does not exceed 10%, then unloading slag blocks with embankments is not allowed, since the battle in this case will be 100%. The construction of exactly garages from slag blocks requires finishing the outer facade.
This is due to the fact that as the practice of the strength of the seams of brickwork shows higher than the walls of cinder blocks. Facade finish in this case plays a strengthening role. The main advantage of the use of slag blocks is the lower cost of the finished structure by analogy with the brick garage.
If the garage needs good thermal insulation according to climatic conditions, and there is also the need to reduce the cost of construction – the slag block is the most suitable option for construction.
