Production FAQs

How does cellular concrete compare in price to plain concrete?

A typical cellular concrete project will be much less expensive cubic yard to cubic yard when compared to plain concrete due to labor savings, less cost of forming and the price savings when comparing pre-formed foam to aggregate pricing. We should note that cellular concrete is seldom ever used in an application where plain concrete would be applicable. Comparing prices of cellular concrete and plain concrete is not a meaningful comparison. Cellular concrete does compare favorably with prices for grout, mortar, and flowable fill.

Is cellular concrete suitable for long-term use as a marine float device?

At the lower densities, cellular concrete will float, and in many cases float indefinitely. Because of its limited impact and abrasion resistance, cellular concrete used for marine flotation should be encased and used for the fill of a float. For example, a superior marine float could be made with sealed 55-gallon drums full of low-density cellular concrete.

Is cellular concrete a suitable material for a concrete canoe?

Once again, similar in scope to the above question regarding marine float applications, cellular concrete could be used for the fill in a concrete canoe but should probably be encased in a waterproof membrane. Cellular Concrete LLC wishes to acknowledge the innovative and creative ways that concrete canoe design teams have invented and discovered methods for concrete canoe design and manufacture. These teams and their canoes are indeed amazing.
