Working with gas silicate (gas blocks) compares favorably with conventional brickwork. Silicate blocks are much larger in size than bricks, and therefore the installation process is significantly accelerated, where the formation of the adhesive layer takes more time and effort.
This can and should be fixed. Therefore, we are making a simple device for laying blocks that will save your time and effort.

Forming methods

Factory molds for preparing cinder blocks are made of reinforced concrete or steel.
Such parts can easily withstand the weight of a large volume of solution. As for do-it-yourself molds, they are most often made of wood or steel sheets. Such elements largely play the role of special formwork. To save on raw materials and free time, molds are mainly assembled without a bottom. You can put a simple film under them. Thanks to this method, the entire process of block formation can be significantly simplified. It must be remembered that the forms themselves must be made of perfectly smooth wood parts. The working surface will be a concrete base, a table with a flat and smooth tabletop, or a sheet of iron, which also does not have any defects.

Let's take a closer look at how to make a mold for slag blocks:

you need to choose sanded boards 14 cm long (the width should be a multiple of this parameter);
then, using a hacksaw, you need to separate the segments, which will then play the role of transverse partitions;
then you will need to connect the segments with longitudinal elements to form a rectangular frame;
Next, you need to cut a sheet of steel or any other material with a smooth surface into separate plates measuring 14x30 cm;
in the inner part of the resulting structure, cuts are made that will act as grooves, the width of which is equal to the dimensions of the dividing strips;
then the sections responsible for the separation are fixed in cuts, creating a mold for the production of 3 or more slag blocks.

In order for the resulting container for hardening the solution to serve as long as possible, at the final stage it is recommended to coat both metal and wood structures with oil-based paint. This form is suitable for preparing cinder blocks, the dimensions of which are 14x14x30 cm.

Subtleties of using reinforcement when laying blocks

Installation diagram of a foam block wall: 1 – clamp, 2 – wall, 3 – foam block.

To give stability to the masonry and protect it from cracking, reinforcement is laid every three to four block rows. To do this, choose the appropriate method from two possible ones:

Laying on a cement-sand mortar involves placing masonry welded mesh in the interblock area. Use ready-made wire mesh (d - 4-5 mm).
Laying with glue: the reinforcement is laid in grooves (or grooves) pre-cut for these purposes. Scoring is carried out using a wall chaser (saw), while the foam block material is easy to process. A circular saw or grinder will be needed in addition to the specified tool for possible sawing of foam blocks.

The rows of foam blocks are completed by a special concrete-reinforced monolith belt, reaching a height of 10 to 20 cm. It is designed to take the weight from the floor slab and create a uniform distribution. Its width is made smaller than that of block masonry, since the cold belt made of reinforced concrete provides additional insulation. To install the ceilings of door and window openings, blocks are prepared that have a U-shaped cutout, the width parameters of which are determined by the ceiling together with the insulation. Overlappings for openings are pre-filled in wooden formwork or purchased ready-made with internal voids.

Planer for aerated concrete based on sandpaper

The basis of this version of the plane is moisture-resistant sandpaper 20 cm wide with an abrasiveness of about 40 (for rough work). In addition to this, you will need:

a piece of flat multi-layer plywood;
board for making a pen;
screws, jigsaw, drill, stapler.

The handle can be cut with a jigsaw and then sanded. It is more convenient if it is higher on one side than on the other. The dimensions of the narrow side of the plywood base are determined by the width of the sandpaper strip, and its length can be made equal to the transverse size of the block or slightly larger.

The handle is screwed to the base with two screws. A countersink should be made for the screw heads, and it is advisable to drill holes in the handle so that it does not crack. Then a piece of sandpaper of the required length is cut and stapled to the ends of the base. The paper fastening may be different. The planer-grater for aerated concrete is ready.

Stages of manufacturing a device for laying glue

Preparation of blanks

To make the sidewalls of the device, you need to prepare two boards of the same length, 30 cm each, on one side the boards are cut at an angle of 40-50°.

You also need a back wall made of wood with a length corresponding to the width of the stacked blocks, plus 5 mm for a technological gap - so that the box does not get stuck on the row.

For limiters, cut two 10-20 mm bars. Their length corresponds to the length of the side planks minus the thickness of the back wall. Don't forget on one side at an angle the same as the sidewalls.

Assembling the adhesive spreader

One limiting block is attached to the side walls lengthwise with self-tapping screws. To do this, the block is applied to the side board so that it is located from the end of the sidewall at a distance of the thickness of the rear wall, and from below - at a distance of 1-2 cm.

Next, the back wall of the device is attached to the sidewalls so that it is between the side walls. The bottom of the board should correspond to the boundary bars along their lower edge.

The result should be a U-shaped structure with legs sawn off at an angle. A notched trowel is attached to these legs at the same level as the back wall with limit bars.

The equipment for laying the glue is ready. To protect yourself from skidding while working, the sharp edges of the device can be trimmed with an ax and sanded.

We buy or make tools for bricklaying

The easiest way is to purchase a tool in a store. One of the professional devices is bricky. We can assume that this is a template for a novice mason; the result is a neat wall, but the speed of action does not suit a professional.

For different types of masonry and brick sizes, various modifications of the template are available. Currently it is made of plastic, but you can make it yourself from wooden or metal strips. A good option would be a brick consisting of sliding planks, which is suitable for various wall designs and brick blocks.

Conductor for obtaining smooth masonry

This bricklaying device includes a rectangular frame made of durable plastic, it has holes and projections for easy operation. We install the frame on the laid row, pour the solution inside, and remove drips from the sides. As a result, we get a layer of the same thickness, onto which we place the brick and lightly press it. We use the same smaller device to connect the end surfaces of the elements.

Set “Your own mason-2”

The device helps to lay a layer of masonry mixture of the same thickness in a brick row, with its help we obtain high-quality, neat masonry, save mortar, and increase the productivity of the mason. The set of templates is suitable for erecting a structure of half a brick or more, laying brick columns and columns, and performing facial finishing. Used to work with standard brick elements, sizes 250x120x65 and double 250x120x88 mm.

Set for bricklaying “Your own mason-2”Source plastsmart.ru

Set includes:

horizontal template, 70 cm long for laying out the solution on a horizontal surface, equipped with two levels and graduations in mm;
horizontal template of 40 cm, used in places of limited length;
vertical template for ordinary bricks;
vertical template for laying one-and-a-half bricks;
supports for installing a horizontal template 70 cm in the amount of 8 pieces;
strips required for laying pillars in the amount of 2 pieces.

All components are packed in a box and supplied with instructions.

Devices for dosing the binder mixture

Dispensing devices allow you to avoid excess consumption of masonry mortar when constructing brick structures. We use the following constructions:

A cuvette helps to measure the required amount of solution in the selected area and get a beautiful seam of the desired shape. This is a simple container with walls without a bottom.
Dispenser order. Container with a marking mechanism, adjustable length. Attached to the conductor frame using screw support clamps.
Complex dispenser.

Instruments

These are devices for monitoring: the thickness of the seam and such geometric indicators as the horizontal and vertical position of the wall.

A plumb line is a weight weighing 200-300 grams, shaped like a cone, which is attached to a strong, non-stretchable thread. When lowered down, it shows the deviation of the brickwork from the vertical.
A building level is required to ensure that each row of bricks is horizontal and vertical. This is a flat oblong strip with a capsule with an air bubble sealed in the middle of it. Based on the location of the bubble (it should be in the center of the capsule), the deviation of the surface from the specified position is determined. Professional builders use laser levels, which greatly simplifies their work.
A mooring for laying bricks is a cord stretched along a row; it shows a line beyond which you cannot step, so as not to distort the surface of the wall being built.

Setting the orderSource yandex.net

In order to make horizontal seams of the same thickness and ensure the horizontality of the brick row, we use orders. Their role is played by rectangular corners installed in the corners of the masonry. They are installed strictly vertically and secured with staples. The order is indicated by divisions, between which the distance is 77 mm for a single brick and 100 mm for a thickened one. Orders are convenient to use together with moorings.

We build it ourselves - laying walls from cinder blocks with your own hands from A to Z, video

Cinder blocks are an excellent building material that has a number of advantages, which has gained popularity among summer residents and owners of country houses. Let’s start with the fact that it’s easy to make this lightweight stone with your own hands, which I’ll tell you about, and it’s no less easy to lay cinder blocks yourself. You don’t need a team of builders, and if you want to build a garage, a country house or a more serious building, you can do it yourself. Let's get started and figure out how to lay a cinder block and what tools we need for this.

So, the list of tools:

hand-held circular saw or hacksaw (cinder block is easy to saw);
respirator (required when sawing);
building level;
water (hydraulic level);
hammer or mallet;
trowel;
plumb line (cord or fishing line);
order.

Procedure for laying cinder block

As when starting work with brickwork, we adjust the corners, trying to achieve the correct rectangle. Of course, it is assumed that your foundation is already ready and you have carried out preparatory work, including waterproofing it. We place four cinder blocks at the tops of the corners, level them using a level and stretch the cord or fishing line along which the masonry will be made. Next, we apply the mortar to the foundation and lay the first rows of cinder blocks.

Important! The first and subsequent 2-3 rows of masonry are the most important, and it is recommended to check the correctness of the masonry more often with a level and plumb line in order to get even walls - redoing an already finished wall is much more difficult than checking your work on time. There are several ways to lay cinder blocks:

There are several ways to lay cinder blocks:

half a stone (can be sawed off with a hacksaw or circular saw without any problems), or the spoon method;
tychkovy - in one stone;
one and a half stones;
two stones.

During the laying process, the mortar is applied 1-1.5 cm thick. The fact is that a thicker layer of mortar will significantly worsen the thermal insulation properties of the finished wall, since the advantage of a cinder block is precisely that it has voids, the air cushion of which has excellent properties for heat preservation. For the same reason, you should not fill the voids in the blocks with mortar - in addition to the completely unnecessary additional consumption of cement, you will only worsen the thermal insulation properties of the wall.

How to lay cinder blocks - take the stone with your left hand by the middle and bring it to the wall at an angle of 45 degrees, then turn the block parallel to the wall, press it tightly against the previous stone and tap it with a hammer or the handle of a trowel - for the pros. Excess mortar must be removed with a trowel and used for laying the next blocks. After installation, the finished wall is covered with fine slag, followed by compaction.

Useful tips

Before starting work, think in advance about a platform or scaffolding from which it will be convenient to lay the top layers of blocks. A stepladder is not suitable for this - you will have nowhere to put a bucket of solution, it is unstable and you will have to constantly move it.

Colored chalk works great for marking blocks.

For better viscosity of the solution, you can add red clay to it in the following proportion - for 4 buckets of sand-cement mortar 1/3 bucket of clay. Another solution option is a mixture in a similar proportion, only ash is used instead of clay.

Cinder block laying tool

To carry out cinder block laying work you will need the following tools:

Cord - mooring for marking.

It is desirable that the color of the marking cord be bright and conspicuous, for example red. Some people use graph paper to mark the line. But it is not particularly practical, since it is transparent and difficult to see during operation.

Building level and plumb line, tape measure.

It is advisable to also stock up on a hydraulic level (water level) and a metal building rule. A must-have tool for any repair and construction work. Using a level and plumb line you will control the evenness of the masonry, both vertically and horizontally.

Construction pencil or chalk.
Tool for preparing the solution.
These are containers and buckets for mixing and carrying mortar, a concrete mixer, and a construction trolley. The listed equipment is necessary for delivering sand, cement, water to the container for mixing the solution. If you have the opportunity to use a concrete mixer, this will make the process of preparing the solution easier. But a couple of metal buckets are definitely needed to transfer the solution to the masonry site. Plastic containers will suffice for water. It is advisable to use metal containers, since plastic buckets can be quickly damaged by a metal trowel and shovel. masonry tool
Construction trowel (trowel). Necessary for collecting and applying the solution to the cinder block. There are three forms of the metal part of the trowel. A trapezoid-shaped trowel is considered the most convenient for masonry.
Hammer or pickaxe.

A cinder block is a heavy stone and it is not always possible to lay it perfectly straight in a row. Using a hammer, the stone can be leveled with a level and string. In addition, the geometry of an ordinary cinder block is not always perfectly smooth and may arise.

Grinder with a circle of at least 150 mm. A grinder is needed to cut a cinder block; otherwise, it is almost impossible to cut a cinder block. See the article below for how to cut a cinder block.

Perforator with mixer attachment. Necessary for mixing the solution if you do not have a concrete mixer.

Shovels: shovel or bayonet. Ideally, have both shovels. They are needed to load sand and cement into buckets, a mixture container or a concrete mixer. In the absence of a concrete mixer, shovels are needed to mix the solution.

Template for laying cinder block. It is not required, but its presence will greatly facilitate and speed up the laying if you plan to lay out a large area. The template can be easily made independently from lumber, metal corners, or purchased at hardware stores.

Overalls and construction gloves. Gloves are a must since your hands constantly work with mortar and cinder block

When laying or carrying blocks, you can inadvertently damage the skin of your hands, legs and abdomen. It is recommended to protect body parts with durable used clothing or construction clothing. blank for laying mortar

Principle of operation

You don't need much experience to use the template. The structure is installed on an already laid row of blocks, made perfectly level. Due to the stops on it, it does not move away from the wall. The template cavity is filled with mortar using a trowel and leveled. We must not forget that when using templates, control over the quality of work performed should not be excluded. The masonry must be constantly checked with marking tools. The template is only an assistant in obtaining high-quality seams and should not be completely relied on.

Masonry hooks

Hooks can be made from profile pipe. To connect the two handles, plates cut from corners are welded to the pipes. The two handles are connected with a bolt for free movement. The hinge needs to be moved towards the edge to increase grip strength.

The gap under the handle should not be too large, but sufficient for a two-handed grip. When folded, the width of the gripping part should be 5-7 mm larger than the block, so that there is no too much movement of the handles.

The gripping plates are cut from 5 mm thick channel. There is no need to make it thicker so that it is convenient to move the block directly to the glue. One plate has dimensions 75x85, the second 90x75. The second plate is longer because the pipes are fixed offset.

The handle must be made non-slip, and a cap must be placed on the end of the pipe to prevent the hand from slipping off.

The gripping force is very powerful; the device easily lifts 2 heavy concrete blocks. Nothing falls out. But safety precautions must be observed.

Materials used

The planer for aerated concrete is made on the basis of available materials:

boards, 10-15 cm wide and length corresponding to the size of the product;
thick plywood or board used to make the handle;
screws, the dimensions of which allow you to securely fix the handle;
carbide files, which are the cutting element of the device;
glue that allows you to reliably glue metal to wood.

To make a plane, it is necessary to incorporate the maximum available materials into the design.

You will also need sandpaper, which is used to round the edges and sand the surface of the product.

“Device” for forming an adhesive layer

The essence of this product is very simple - maximum acceleration of the application of the adhesive layer for laying blocks. To do this you need:

Make a box on a skid. It should move easily along the row of the wall and will not move off it. To do this, the side walls should hang from the row by 1-2 cm
The device is equipped with a spatula for uniform application of the solution - it is better to use a notched trowel. At the same time, fix it at an angle of 40-50° - this way it will be better to apply glue to the row
Since the width of the adhesive layer is needed to be somewhat narrower than the block row - excess glue will not be squeezed out when installing the block - the device must be equipped with restrictive bars from the inside.

To make it you will need:

Notched trowel
Board 100-150 mm wide and about 1 m long
10-20 mm block, about 40-50 cm long
Fastening: self-tapping screws
Wood hacksaw
Screwdriver
Axe

Description of the design for carrying gas blocks

Since the weight of one cellular concrete block can reach a maximum of 30 kg, the question arises about the advisability of using special manual and mechanical devices that will help easily transport the blocks to the installation site. This type of device is considered to be a grip. It is designed in such a way that it is capable of grasping, with a specially created mechanism, a block of aerated concrete of any weight and size, and carrying it with the help of a handle (grip), like regular luggage.

The gripper has the form of a metal clamp and is a hinge-link mechanism that can facilitate labor during construction work on the construction of buildings made of aerated concrete blocks.

The advantages of using the tool are:

the ability to raise gas blocks to different heights;
significant acceleration of construction time;
noticeable reduction in labor costs;
ease of use and quick turnaround of products;
careful operation in relation to the surface of the blocks;
reliability of the clamp enclosing the product;
assistance to ensure the accuracy of masonry installation;
ensuring reliable coupling of the mechanism with the block;
multifunctionality of the device (lifting, transporting, turning over, transferring, etc.);
compliance with safety and technological standards.

The standard mechanical gripper device (pictured) includes:

Rocker.
Clamp (levers).
Stand.
Suspension.
Traction 1.
Traction 2.

The clamp is represented by 4 levers with a “scissor mechanism”, connected by a hinge element that allows the mobility of the parts. Some types of grips (multifunctional) have, in addition to levers, a ring for hanging from the forklift hook. The picture does not show the handle that comes from the pendant, by which you can use the tool manually. But the handle (grip) helps to use the device manually.

Reciprocating saw

Demonstration of a reciprocating saw when cutting foam blocks.
The electric saw makes cuts with flat blades that look similar to the blade of a saber, which is why it got its name. The amplitude of movement of the canvas can be different, it all depends on the model. They vary from 3 to 5 cm. An electric hacksaw easily copes with gas and foam concrete blocks and makes cuts quite quickly. Using the saber model is easy. The operating principle is similar to that of a chain saw.

Models may vary:

frequency of movements per minute (2.5-3 thousand);
range of motion (1.9-2 cm);
Block cutting depth.

Using a reciprocating electric saw, you can quickly and efficiently cut aerated concrete blocks. The speed in many models is controlled by an electronic unit. Cooling occurs through the existing ventilation holes. The vibration level is adjusted and low. The reciprocating saw weighs about 4 kg. Replacing the blades is quite simple.

Advantages of the template

These include:

the use of templates when laying blocks allows them to be installed on a layer of mortar of the same thickness without any excess, which makes the work easier and more productive. In addition, the solution consumption is noticeably reduced. It is possible to calculate the required quantity with sufficient accuracy;
templates are used both for facing work and for laying the main frame of the building;
Even for an inexperienced craftsman, such a design will help to obtain good quality masonry, with blocks laid at the same distance, strictly horizontally and vertically;
the low cost of templates is available to anyone who wishes to purchase them.

Therefore, for novice craftsmen or people who decide to make masonry on their own, this design will be indispensable.

What is a trowel

A trowel (in other words, a trowel), by definition, is a device in the form of a spatula with a curved handle, designed for masonry, jointing, laying tiles, and more.

Construction technologies are developing, new materials are being created, tools for working with them are changing, but their name remains the same. Thus, the trowel has undergone significant modifications, and now this name can be found on devices that are completely different from each other. In relation to aerated concrete, a trowel is a bucket of a certain width, equipped with a comfortable handle for gripping and a row of teeth on the opposite side. Used for uniform application of adhesive solution on aerated concrete blocks.

Masonry hooks

The handle must be made non-slip, and a cap must be placed on the end of the pipe to prevent the hand from slipping off. The gripping force is very powerful; the device easily lifts 2 heavy concrete blocks. Nothing falls out. But safety precautions must be observed.

We assemble a machine for making cinder blocks with our own hands

Getting ready to assemble a machine for cinder blocks - preparing materials and tools

Home craftsmen usually have the required equipment and tools in their arsenal. Catalog of necessary equipment and materials:

electric welding device;
grinder with a disc for cutting metal;
a set of metalwork tools;
vice;
three-millimeter metal sheets;
steel pipe cuttings;
electric motor or ready-made vibrator;
bolts, washers, nuts for fastening parts.

The amount of metal for the manufacture of the device is determined in accordance with the drawing or sketch, which shows all dimensions.

First of all, blanks are cut from a 3 mm sheet of metal; you should work with a grinder carefully

How to make a mold for a block machine with your own hands - drawings and assembly

Make it according to the following algorithm:

Mark the contours of the parts on a metal sheet, cut the blanks for making a molding box.
Weld the shell of the future container, make sure that the angles are right.
Use a grinder to cut pieces of pipes the length of which corresponds to the height of the cinder block.
Make cuts along the axis on opposite sides of the pipes, giving the workpieces a conical configuration.
Weld them to the base of the box and connect them with a crossbar to increase rigidity.
Weld the base with conical inserts to the shell, fix the plugs at the end of the pipes.
Make two handles for moving the molding box, fix them on both sides of the structure.
Make a lid for the molding box and make holes in it that correspond to the dimensions of the technological inserts.
Secure the stops inside the box at a level corresponding to the height of the block. They act as a limiter for the lid.

The use of a group molding box with increased dimensions will increase the productivity of the equipment, and the use of a collapsible mold will facilitate removal.

Drawing for making a machine with your own hands

How to make your own block making machine

As a material for manufacturing, use the metal profile available in the household.

Sequencing:

Weld the sides of the frame and connect them with jumpers.
Make a working platform and secure it between the posts.
Attach the vibration motor mounting studs to the platform.
Fix the eccentric balancer to the motor drive shaft.
Prime the metal surface, then paint.
Connect the power cable to the motor and perform a test run.

Having carefully studied the pre-developed project and drawings, it is not difficult to make a machine for making cinder blocks with your own hands.

Making the capture yourself

It is best to first find drawings of a gripper for foam blocks on the Internet. The work will be performed in the following sequence:

We take the plates, measure 16.7 cm from the edge, and make transverse slits. This is where the future arms will bend. Once assembly is complete, the slots are welded.
On the longer side, 3.3 cm from the slot, drill a 6 mm hole. The central axis of rotation will be arranged here.
We connect the levers with a bolt, do not tighten the nut too much, screw on the locknut. This will create free rotation and there will be no unwinding.
The remaining fasteners are connected in the same way.
Preparing the hand grip. To mark the holes, we apply the plate to the upper edges of the spread arms. At the crosshair points we mark places for holes (6 mm).
Using an 8 mm drill, at the upper end of each plate we make a row of several holes to create a longitudinal slot, the size of which is 1.6 x 0.8 cm. This will make it possible for unhindered sliding of connections and changing the gripping parameters at the time of crimping or releasing the block material.
Metal corners (40 mm) are welded to the lower sections of each lever element at right angles, which act as pliers. We select their size taking into account the width of the aerated concrete material (from 10 to 15 cm). To make the fit as accurate as possible, the corners should be applied one by one to the block ribs, the lower edges of the “scissors” should be placed on them and welded in place.

To make it convenient to use the tool, you need to put pieces of rubber hose on the handles and wrap them with linoleum.

When the grip is lowered onto the block, the corners grasp its sides. Lifting it by the handle, we strengthen the crimp several times, holding the block as if with pliers. And when such a device is not required when laying the first row, then with increasing height the need for it increases.

To ensure that the surface of the block does not get chipped and the grip is reliable, experts recommend gluing pieces of rubber onto the working surface of the corners.

There are other models, invented by the people and made with their own hands, but the principle of operation is the same in each.

Advantages of the template

These include:

the use of templates when laying blocks allows them to be installed on a layer of mortar of the same thickness without any excess, which makes the work easier and more productive. In addition, the solution consumption is noticeably reduced. It is possible to calculate the required quantity with sufficient accuracy;
templates are used both for facing work and for laying the main frame of the building;
Even for an inexperienced craftsman, such a design will help to obtain good quality masonry, with blocks laid at the same distance, strictly horizontally and vertically;
the low cost of templates is available to anyone who wishes to purchase them.

Therefore, for novice craftsmen or people who decide to make masonry on their own, this design will be indispensable.

How to make a matrix with your own hands

The mold for making a cinder block is the most important thing in the process and the most important thing in the configuration of the machine. Without the correct shape, the whole point of making a cinder block yourself becomes a useless circle of Skillful Hands. The more irregularities and voids there are in the cinder block, the longer the wall will take to build, and the poorer the quality of the masonry will be. During the manufacturing process on a vibrating table, slag concrete tends to shrink, and this is quite natural, since the whole point of the vibrating table is to compact the solution as much as possible, driving all the air out of it.

If the matrix does not take this into account, the cinder blocks will be of different sizes, and it will be very difficult to make normal masonry from them. Therefore, professional machines also use a press to quickly stabilize the mixture. The matrix drawings and the step-by-step process of its manufacture require no explanation. Everything is clearly visible in the photo, and by observing these dimensions, you will get the perfect cinder block.

How to make a cinder block machine

First, let's decide what goals we set for ourselves. If we need to build a small utility room, a barn, a summer kitchen or a temporary shed, this is one thing. In the same case, if we are going to sell cinder blocks, then the approach to its production should be completely different. Firstly, mass production of cinder blocks requires stability of the recipe, otherwise it will be simply impossible to produce high-quality cinder blocks. Secondly, the machine for making cinder blocks with your own hands, the drawings of which we have given right here, is not intended for large-scale production for obvious reasons.

The reliability and performance of a machine assembled from just about anything cannot be compared with a machine made in production conditions, where there is at least a hint of a quality guarantee. However, making a couple of hundred cinder blocks is not prohibited for anyone yet, so we present drawings with dimensions for a vibrating machine.

A super device for laying aerated concrete that will save you time and effort

Which is better: heated floors or radiators?
Warm floorBatteries

Working with gas silicate (gas blocks) compares favorably with conventional brickwork. Do-it-yourself gates, drawings, diagrams, sketches, design? Silicate blocks are much larger in size than bricks, and therefore the installation process is significantly accelerated, where the formation of the adhesive layer takes more time and effort.

This can and should be fixed. Therefore, we are making a simple device for laying blocks that will save your time and effort.
