    The advantages are numerous:

    • Excellent thermal insulation: It significantly reduces the need for additional insulation, which leads to energy savings for heating and cooling.
    • Light weight: It reduces dead load on the structure, allows for easier transport and manipulation, and reduces foundation costs.
    • Simple application: It is easy to mix, pump and install, which speeds up the construction process.
    • Good sound insulation: The porous structure helps absorb sound.
    • Resistance to freezing and thawing: Due to reduced water absorption.
    • Vapor permeability: It allows the walls to “breathe”, preventing condensation.
    • Environmental friendliness: It reduces the consumption of natural resources (aggregates) and may contain recycled styrofoam.
