Today they pourred the foam concrete

Ps, all shot on DJI Pocket 2

Wow that's a deep bed of concrete!

Saw it earlier Peter. Great progress.

This is insulating concrete, so the more, the better.

Yeah, I noticed (you replied twice on on IG )

Blériot53 Posted at 9-15 12:04

Shorts is only vertical.
And Pocket 2 apparently knows how to do this.

Thats a lot of concrete.  And theres more to come??

Must have been an echo

Yes. FPV mode and hold it horizontally.

Now that's great progress Peter.    I had to look up foam concrete as I was not familiar with it.  Seems as it is an insulating type concrete deeper is better and it appears your pour is quite deep.  

Even better - No leaks.

It happened twice so far

Very cool that it does.

It's a relatively new material for sure.
They are still developing it, and the recently upgraded to a newer version with better insulating properties. So I'm happy about that.
It works great for these kind of spaces.

Yes, this is 42 - 43 cm on average and the total height will be 50cm.
The final layer is much harder and not insulating. It is a very conductive material that will help spread the heat from the underfloor heating and will help spread the load of heavy furniture etc. on a larger surface.
This foam concrete is a lot of air bubbles trapped inside concrete shells. It's weird material, you can push your finger into it without much force. But you can also walk on it.
But it insulates very well. I have 42 cm, which gives me about a 4.5 Rd value (not sure if you use that  unit too for insulation value) but that is much more than code requires here for new buildings.

Interesting.  So very much how my conservatory floor was laid.  But rather than foam Crete they used polystyrene and then a concrete slab on top.

Well if it's once it can't be an echo - there have to be at least two

Montfrooij Posted at 9-17 00:07

I may produce some more shorts that way - even though I'm not really a fan.  But they do get more views on YT.

It's a mixed bag for me. I prefer the longer format, but shorts is easy to make and easy to consume.
So I will try to make some of those too every now and then.

Hahahahahahahahahaha.
LOL.
Good point!

I guess they're most popular with the Smartphone crowd.

Yes, the idea is similar.

Yeah, true

Yeah, it's not always a good development if you ask me. But for these short updates that I'm posting, I like them.

Having a rest from your labours today?

Yes, very much.
A bit of editing footage (the result is posted already) and some family time.

I've just viewed the holiday reel

No doubt you did some due diligence in deciding to put it down vice just plain concrete.  I always say you can never have too much insulation.

Very interesting.

Yes, although this is a relatively new version, but the company has been making this type of concrete for quite some time now.

Montfrooij Posted at 9-17 07:28
Thanks a lot

My pleasure

It's always a plus when a company continues to improve their product.

I think so. Tomorrow I will continue with the reno

Nice to take a day off from the reno and then hit it again the next day.  

I'm heading off the forum now as I have a dental check up in an hour.  Hope you have a great day.

Woohoo, dental check up went well and I even got my scuba tanks filled and got in a dive after the appointment.
