Teriva expanded concrete blocks

Teriva expanded clay blocks are available in several variants, ensuring their correct selection for the required floor load-bearing capacity. The hollow blocks differ in width and height, which determines the spacing of the floor beams and the height of the reinforced concrete beams between the rows of hollow floor blocks, created after pouring the layer of topping concrete.

Teriva blocks are only a light filling of the floor, allowing to reduce the dead load of the floor and the consumption of concrete. Each pallet also contains hollow blocks, i.e. elements in which the chambers are not continuous. They are used to form end faces adjacent to wreaths, joists and distribution ribs. The minimum characteristic strength for all types of hollow blocks is 1.5 kN.

Advantages of expanded clay concrete hollow blocks

The blocks are made of a concrete mix whose main component is expanded clay, a material obtained in the process of firing clay. Expanded clay blocks are lighter than slag concrete blocks. They are often called warm due to their better thermal conductivity coefficient.

*Expanded clay has high thermal and acoustic insulation parameters and is resistant to frost, fire, mould, fungi and humidity. The detailed specification of the final product is set out in the Declaration of Performance.

**Compared to three-chamber blocks, twelve-chamber blocks have better strength, thermal and acoustic parameters.
