Pumice heat transmission coefficient (0.33 - 0.80 kcal / mh 0C) is 5-7 times higher than normal concrete. Because of this feature it also provides a large-scale of heat and energy savings. Due to the porous nature of pumice, thermal insulation of building elements produced from pumice is much more than produced from other materials. Providing higher levels of heat-insulating at the structures which were built by using pumice products reduces heating and cooling costs substantially. Also excellence in sound insulation provides additional comfort in buildings.
Hollows that are used at the concrete floors number among the lightweight structural components gained from pumice. Also, pumice stone is used as the basic padding and roof insulation material at buildings.
The advantages of pumice structures;
Earthquake-resistant Shock-absorbing property
Mainly because of the cheaper cost and the use of iron Lightness
Safer because of high fire endurance
Heating and cooling spending less because of high thermal endurance
Sound insulation for maximum comfort, space use
Excellent adhesion to plaster. Easy because of lower labor costs
Freezing of frost-resistant when it is not harmed by
Easy nailing - for the convenience of workmanship
