How long can we store Leca?
Leca can be stored indefinitely under proper conditions, such as a dry and ventilated environment.
What are the advantages of using Leca in construction?
Lightweight: Reduces structural load. Thermal insulation: Improves energy efficiency. Sound insulation: Reduces noise transmission. Durability: Resistant to fire, water, and chemicals.
What is Leca made from?
Leca is made from natural clay, which is heated and expanded to form lightweight, durable aggregates.
How is Leca produced?
Leca is produced by heating and expanding natural clay in a rotary kiln at temperatures of up to 1,200°C. This process creates porous, lightweight aggregates with exceptional strength.
What is Leca?
LECA (Light Expanded Clay Aggregate) is a lightweight, durable aggregate made by expanding natural clay at high temperatures. It is widely used in construction, agriculture, and landscaping for its strength and insulation properties.
11. Structural Slabs/Elements
Leca is widely used in prefabricated structural slabs and elements. Its lightweight yet strong nature makes it ideal for reducing the overall weight of buildings, while maintaining high structural performance. This is particularly useful in projects where speed, cost-efficiency, and sustainability are key concerns.
10. External Drains (LECA 10-25 Coated)
Leca 10-25 coated aggregates are used in external drainage systems. They provide effective water drainage, preventing blockages and ensuring long-term durability. The Leca coating enhances its performance by improving water flow, reducing maintenance needs, and ensuring a reliable drainage solution for building exteriors.
9. Lecamix Structural Concrete
Lecamix structural concrete reduces the overall dead load of structures by 25%-40%, cutting costs while providing fire resistance, heat insulation, and durability. It’s ideal for columns, beams, and large structures like tall buildings, roofs, and bridges. The material also promotes internal curing, reducing shrinkage and improving long-term strength.
8. Intermediate Floor Filling & Insulation
Leca aggregate is used for filling and insulating intermediate floors. It offers superior thermal and sound insulation properties, helping to create comfortable living spaces. Its low weight and high efficiency make it an excellent choice for ensuring a balanced and sustainable building design.
7. Intermediate Floor Leveling
Lecamix flooring concrete offers an efficient solution for leveling intermediate floors. The dry mix, combined with water and ensures quick installation. It provides excellent thermal insulation and soundproofing, creating a stable foundation for further construction without adding excessive weight.
