Corporation “Kharkiv Building Materials” (HSM) has been operating in the construction market of Ukraine since 2002. It is engaged in the production, wholesale and retail sales of the main types of building materials using advanced high-tech technologies. At the moment, the corporation includes such leading enterprises in Kharkov and the region as the Kharkov Plant of Reinforced Concrete Structures (ZhBK), Research and Production Company Interfact LTD, Kuryazhsky Plant of Silicate Products.
KhSM is the largest manufacturer of aerated concrete blocks in the Kharkiv region using autoclaved cellular concrete, ceramic and silicate bricks, hollow floor slabs without formwork molding and dry building mixtures.
The entire range of products manufactured by XSM meets all domestic and European standards, which is confirmed by a number of certificates received. Constantly improving production technology, high quality control, the use of high-quality components allows the Kharkov Building Materials Corporation to produce products that meet the high demand and requirements of construction organizations and private developers. The range of HMK products is very large. The corporation manufactures and sells aerated concrete blocks, silicate and ceramic bricks, floor slabs, dry building mixes, ready-mixed concrete, foundation blocks, granite and aerated concrete crushed stone, and much more. Produced aerated concrete blocks XSM are the optimal building material for the construction of low-rise houses and cottages, as well as multi-storey buildings using the technology of monolithic-frame construction.
The main advantages of using XSM aerated concrete blocks are:
- Durability. With proper installation work, compliance with the construction technology, the service life of a wall of aerated concrete blocks XSM will be more than 100 years.
- Heat. The unique porous structure of XSM aerated concrete blocks provides excellent thermal insulation (3-5 times higher than that of bricks), and also allows you to save a lot on heating in the house in winter.
- Microclimate. XSM aerated concrete blocks have a porous structure, due to which there is an effective thermoregulation and maintenance of optimal humidity inside the room. A house built of XSM aerated concrete blocks is able to keep cool in summer and keep warm in winter.
- Simplicity, economy and speed of installation. XCM aerated concrete blocks are light in weight and large in comparison with bricks in overall dimensions. Carrying out loading and unloading and installation work requires less time. In addition, the walls are more than 4 times lighter than brick walls, which allows the use of a lighter foundation. It is easily machined (fitting, sawing, grooving) using hand tools, thus you get additional savings, both in construction time and budget.
- Soundproofing. XSM aerated concrete has excellent soundproofing characteristics. Walls made of aerated concrete blocks comply with the current norms and rules for soundproofing residential premises.
- Fire safety. Aerated concrete blocks produced by KhSM are characterized by 1 and 2 degrees of fire resistance. They do not burn, when exposed to high temperatures do not emit harmful toxins.
- Environmental friendliness. Aerated concrete blocks during operation are completely harmless to humans. XSM blocks made of aerated concrete have an environmental safety factor of 2 (for wood – 1, and for brick – 10). In the production of XSM aerated concrete, only natural and environmentally friendly components are used.
- Resistance to the formation of fungi, mold, bacteria. Studies have shown that even under the most “favorable” conditions for bacteria, fungi and mold (at a temperature of +25 – +30 degrees and a relative humidity of 95 – 98%), XSM aerated concrete blocks show complete resistance to their occurrence and development.
- Aesthetics. XSM aerated concrete blocks, which have excellent machinability, are able to give expressiveness and attractiveness to any architectural forms. This opens up the possibility of implementing any ideas of designers and architects.
Currently, XSM produces aerated concrete blocks of the following series: Aerated concrete block XSM “HETTEN” – designed for the construction of load-bearing external walls in low-rise construction (no more than 3 floors), the construction of interior partitions, as well as for filling self-supporting wall openings in multi-storey construction. It has the correct shape geometry (with an accuracy of no more than ± 1.0 mm), a smooth surface, excellent heat and sound insulation properties.
Masonry work is carried out using a special adhesive mixture. Has a density of D400 and D500. The aerated concrete block HSM “UNIVERSAL” has the same characteristics and scope as the HSM “HETTEN”. A distinctive feature is its high density (D600). Masonry is carried out using conventional cement-sand mortar. The high quality of products manufactured by the Kharkiv Building Materials Corporation has been confirmed in practice by long-term partnerships with such construction organizations as PJSC TREST ZHILSTROY-1, PJSC ZHILSTROY-2, Spetsstroymontazh-Ukraine, Megainvestbud LLC, Construction Trading House JSC ”, Alliance Development Company, Stalkonstruktsiya LLC, Financial and Construction Group LLC, Kuryazhsky House-Building Complex JSC and others. The use of XSM aerated concrete blocks in the construction will allow you to build a strong, reliable, beautiful house that will meet all modern standards of environmental safety and energy saving.
Happy and successful building.
