Building & Construction
Building & construction foam core is a new material widely used in recent decades because of its affordability, ease of use, resistibility, and versatility.
Construction Foam Compared
Compared to traditional reinforced concrete, building materials made from composite core materials are not only lightweight, structurally stable, and high-strength but also more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. We will compare the following six aspects to help you better understand the differences between construction foam and traditional building materials. If you have any question, welcome to contact us.
| Traditional Reinforced Concrete | Composite Core Materials | ||
| Weight | Heavy, which can increase construction costs and structural demands. | VS | Lightweight, reducing transportation and structural support costs. |
| Strength | High compressive strength, but requires reinforcement for tensile strength. | High strength-to-weight ratio, providing excellent support with less material. | |
| Durability | Long-lasting but prone to issues like cracking and corrosion over time. | Resistant to corrosion, cracking, and environmental degradation, offering long-term stability. | |
| Environmental Impact | High carbon footprint due to cement production and significant energy consumption during manufacturing. | More environmentally friendly, with lower carbon emissions and reduced energy consumption in production. | |
| Energy Efficiency | Less energy-efficient, both in terms of production and thermal insulation properties. | Better thermal insulation properties, contributing to energy-efficient buildings. | |
| Construction Speed | Slower due to the need for curing times and complex reinforcement requirements. | Faster installation due to pre-fabricated components and easier handling. |
