10 best manufacturers of aerated concrete blocks
The best imported manufacturers of aerated concrete blocks
Now it is difficult to say where the technology for the production of foam blocks originated, but the most famous companies are located in Europe, in particular in Germany. Also, this country produces the best equipment for the production of aerated concrete. It is used all over the world, and it is it that allows us to maintain high quality standards. This category includes firms that sometimes have factories in Russia, but retain the brand. Their products are more expensive than local counterparts, but judging by the reviews, it's worth it.
5 Hebel
Country: Germany-Russia
Rating (2022): 4.6
The aerated concrete block in production goes through several stages, one of which is drying. At this moment, shrinkage occurs, affecting the geometry of the module. The German company Hebel was able to achieve excellence in this matter. Their blocks are so perfect that the maximum deviation that can be encountered will not exceed 2 millimeters. The indicator is very significant, especially in comparison with blocks, where the run-up can reach several centimeters.
It is very convenient to build with such material, and waste is minimized. In addition, the company provides its customers with the widest range of products. There are both external blocks and partition walls, as well as ceilings. The brand produces arched structures of complex shape in strict accordance with the stated standards.It should also be noted the strictest quality control at all production stages. The level of production is closely monitored and ruthlessly culled, so that the percentage of barracks that enters the markets is very low or non-existent.
4 Bonolit
Country: Germany-Russia
Rating (2022): 4.7
Most companies producing foam blocks use autoclave drying, but the product enters the oven in the form of a large bar, which is subsequently cut into the desired modules. The German company Bonolit is one of the few that works on a different principle. Here, cutting is first performed, and only after that drying and shrinkage are performed. In practice, this led to some complication of the process, but made it possible to achieve better geometry and strength.
Recently, the brand has appeared in Russia by opening two of its own factories. All of them are equipped with the latest technology and use the same technology. The aerated concrete block is distinguished by the highest strength, the most ideal geometry, while the prices for products are slightly higher than analogues, which are clearly inferior in terms of basic characteristics. Apparently, the company aims to become the market leader, and besides, it has a wide range of products in its arsenal. Here you will find both ordinary blocks and complex arched modules.
3 Stonelight
Country: Ukraine
Rating (2022): 4.8
From the very beginning of its activity, the Ukrainian company Stonelight has focused on strict compliance with production standards. At each stage, in each workshop, there is control, which allows us to produce products of the best quality. The plant uses German equipment. It was provided by the Hetten company, which itself produces aerated concrete blocks.The German brand is not mentioned in any way, but along with the Stonelight equipment, they also received the strictest quality requirements.
However, some reviews are still negative. Buyers note the fragility of the blocks and the wrong geometry. It is worth noting that there are few such comments, but you have to pay attention to them, since the company initially positions itself as a premium class. In addition, quality control allows you to identify most of the manufacturing defects. Therefore, if it nevertheless enters the market, then in the production itself, not everything is as smooth as they want to show us. In any case, most of the brand's products comply with all standards, which is why it got into our rating.
2 UDK
Country: Ukraine
Rating (2022): 4.9
The Ukrainian company UDK rightfully occupies such a high line in the rating. The company operates on the most modern equipment provided by Masa AG. This is a world leader whose machines allow to produce the best block that meets the strictest quality standards. As noted in the reviews, blocks from UDK are distinguished by ideal geometry, as well as affordability. The second parameter is especially interesting, since the brand itself positions itself as a premium manufacturer.
It should be noted the entrepreneurial spirit of the board. Specialized educational institutions are organized on the basis of the company. They train future specialists to work in the company. This approach is very far-sighted and suggests that the brand is not going to dissolve into history. He has far-reaching plans. However, some reviews speak of not the highest strength of the products.It is difficult to say whether it is really so, but if we compare the negative and positive in the comments, then the second is many times more.
1 XELLA (Ytong)
Country: Germany
Rating (2022): 4.9
Ksella is one of the youngest gas block manufacturers in the world, but has already gained popularity and trust from both ordinary buyers and professional developers. The company has representative offices in many countries, including Russia. It is distinguished by strict quality control, as well as the use of all the most modern technologies. On the basis of the company there are several laboratories that constantly improve products. When a new technology appears, it is immediately introduced to all industries.
The reviews often note the high quality of workmanship: perfect geometry, autoclave drying and other advantages. Both private buildings and skyscrapers are being built from Kcell blocks. Developers appreciate the best combination of price and quality, although, in fairness, it should be noted that the price of the brand's products is not the lowest on the market. Even taking into account that the plant is located in Russia, and there are no import costs.
The best Russian manufacturers of aerated concrete blocks
Russian manufacturers have long been successfully competing in the building materials market with European brands. In addition, there are many more companies producing gas blocks in our country, but not all of them can boast of perfect quality. It should also be noted that some of the firms included in our rating work on foreign equipment. These are independent brands, but borrowed technologies.If the first part of the top included brands that have production facilities in Russia, but with foreign origin, then here only local companies and only with the best quality.
5 GRAS
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.6
GRAS is a Saratov building materials plant. A huge concern, consisting of a dozen companies producing a variety of products. Including foam blocks. The company works exclusively on its own raw materials. It has quarries and deposits at its disposal, which has significantly reduced the price tag for products. True, as noted in the reviews, this somewhat affected the quality. The inability to choose raw materials and the need to work with what is, has led to not the highest final quality. Often there is a violation of geometry and a relatively large number of defects.
The company is trying to establish strict control over product quality, but it will be difficult to do this due to raw material restrictions. Be that as it may, GRAS products are one of the cheapest on the market. It is even used in multi-story construction. Private buyers are much less likely to become customers of the plant, since the high percentage of defects, as well as the fragility of the blocks during transportation, completely offset the initially attractive price tag.
4 Sibit
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.6
Aerated concrete block is a relatively new building material. Its mass production began at the beginning of the 2000s, but in fact, it has been produced for a very long time. On the territory of Russia, one of the first producers of aerated concrete was the Novosibirsk company Sibit. The plant has been operating since 1963.At that time, foam concrete was not so common and accessible to the general public. Later, the plant was improved. Purchased new equipment and technologies. State support allowed the company to establish direct cooperation with German companies, which provided some of the equipment and materials.
Today, Sibit is one of the largest Russian brands, although it has changed a little: it has switched to foreign equipment. This affected the quality of products only for the better, as well as the mass production. The company does not work for export, but provides the whole of Siberia and the Urals with the best gas block.
3 EuroAeroConcrete
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.7
The EuroAeroBeton company is located in the northern capital of our country, St. Petersburg. From the very beginning, special attention was paid to ecology, and today it is the cleanest production facility producing the cleanest products. However, this is not the merit of the manufacturer, since it works exclusively on German equipment, but without control by a foreign brand. Buyers note a lot of advantages of the company's products. In particular, good geometry, wide range and ease of operation.
In fact, the company does not use any advanced technology. There is nothing innovative in its production, but the board's approach to its own work allows producing foam blocks of the highest quality, and even at the most attractive price. True, some builders note in the reviews the excessive porosity of the modules. This does not affect the strength, but requires additional processing during operation. Moisture is removed from the blocks worse, which, in principle, is not critical, but it takes place.
2 LSR
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.8
The aerated concrete block is by no means the only source of income for the LSR group of companies. It is the groups, since several factories, construction companies and even real estate agencies operate under this name. Initially, the company produced ceramic bricks for its own construction, but later launched mass production. Today it is the most versatile manufacturer, producing both foam concrete and ceramic bricks, as well as clinker tiles.
The company is entirely Russian, but working on foreign equipment. Particularly German. At the same time, there is no preference for a particular brand, and this should be understood, since a block of the same brand, but produced at different factories, may differ. Not significant, but still. However, the company boasts of strict quality control at all production stages, which minimizes the appearance of defects on the market. However, judging by the reviews, it is sometimes found that it is not critical, but it is no longer possible to call the manufacturer the best.
1 Aeroc
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.9
Aerok is the largest Russian manufacturer of aerated concrete blocks. It has been operating since 2004, successfully competing with foreign market leaders. Today, the company's products are even exported, where they note the high quality and ideal geometry of the modules. In fairness, it should be said that the company operates on German equipment provided by Wehrhahn.
The reviews note only the positive aspects of Aerok products. This is strength, ideal geometry. The company also pays a lot of attention to the environmental side of the issue.All production facilities, and there are already about a dozen of them today, are equipped with the most advanced equipment that limits harmful emissions. At the height and the ecological component of the products. Simply put, this is the best Russian manufacturer, which has already entered the international market today, exists there with dignity, and is in no way inferior to mastodons.
