Today, thanks to the development of technology, it is possible to create contemporary construction at lower costs.

The material

Ytong brings warmth

Manufactured from lime, cement, and sand, composed of 50% tiny petrified air cells, Ytong has unique and remarkable characteristics in terms of thermal insulation, heat accumulation, moisture insensitivity, and fire resistance. Ytong is both a carrier and an insulator. The presence of additional insulation is superfluous with Low Energy blocks. Building with Ytong means taking advantage of a warm exterior envelope without thermal bridges.

Application

Ytong, advantageous and straightforward for new and renovation projects, large and small

Ytong is a high-quality complete construction system, offering a solution for all projects. It makes it possible to limit the costs of construction without compromising quality easily. Quick, thanks to the appreciable size and ergonomics of the blocks, their ease of cutting and the use of adhesive mortar rather than traditional mortar. Ytong products eliminate the need to place insulation materials that are sometimes dangerous due to their specific characteristics. You save on the cumulative price of materials, on labor and finishing costs, but also any expenses incurred in a double rent. In the longer term, the absence of additional insulating material is also to your advantage. You are no longer exposed to the harmful consequences that may result from improper insulation installation, rising humidity, or thermal bridges. Also, the insulation value of your new building does not decrease over the years, while the insulation materials usually installed do not remain timeless.

Advantages

Why Ytong

Building with a complete system offers only advantages.

1) Thermal insulation

Thanks to its excellent thermal insulation, Ytong aerated concrete is superior to the general BIP standard. It is the only carrier material to avoid thermal bridges without additional insulation.

2) Airtightness

The Ytong blocks are glued. This is why the walls have very fine joints. This simplifies the construction of airtight walls. The fact that Ytong walls have no cavities is also a big advantage for airtightness. No air circulation, and therefore loss of insulation, is possible in the exterior wall when installing techniques.

3) Fire resistance

It is important to live in a fire resistant building. It’s better to anticipate. Ytong is non-flammable and non-combustible. The walls resist both fire and heat. In addition, they never deform and do not give off smoke or toxic substances. The security asset!

History

Ytong – almost a century

Aerated concrete was developed almost a century ago, in 1923, by the Swedish researcher and architect J.A. Eriksson. He was looking for a building material that had the same valuable properties as wood (with the same insulation values, strength, and machinability), without the disadvantages (flammability and instability). The first production was launched in 1929 in Yxhult, Sweden, in collaboration with the entrepreneur Carl August Carlén, at a time when materials were in short supply and energy laws were strict. The original name “Yxhults Anghärdade Gasbetong” was the first registered trademark in the construction industry. Aerated concrete then began its worldwide career under the name of Ytong.

Ytong is now known worldwide for its unique thermal insulation and economical building solutions.
