Building material

In the construction sector, expanded clay has multiple properties that make it especially impressive. Expanded clay is extremely light, dimensionally stable, temperature resistant, frostproof, and durable, meets fire prevention regulations and also has excellent thermal and sound insulation values.

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

Ideal as an aggregate for lightweight concrete or for cavity fill

Dense-structure or porous lightweight concrete are typical areas of application for the natural building material expanded clay

ROAD CONSTRUCTION (Geotechnics)

For improved load-bearing capacity in road construction

Expanded clay can be spread easily over a large area, requires almost no compaction and eases subsoil loading

SPORTS FIELD DRAINAGE

Drainage plays a major role when constructing sports fields in accordance with DIN 18035

Expanded clay is not only advantageous in drainage packing, but also plays an important role as a frost protection layer

PROTECTION AGAINST RADON

Harmful radon: Structural protection became law in 2018

Radon exposure in buildings must not only be lowered, but also prevented

CIVIL ENGINEERING

Expanded clay in earthworks on sites with unstable subsoil

As a frostproof intermediate layer or as an additional sound insulation layer with fire prevention class A1

UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION

High stability – significant reduction in settling

On sites where the soil has poor load-bearing capacity, expanded clay offers high pressure stability and is virtually self-compacting

RIDING GROUNDS

Optimal as drainage for riding grounds

As a useful component when constructing riding grounds for new facilities or modernising existing ones, any kind of riding arena, paddock or walking circle
