Boral has specially designed Lightweight Concrete using a non-toxic treated polystyrene aggregate or by the use of cellular foam injection by specially trained applicators. Depending on local availability, special lightweight aggregates may also be included in the design for enhanced strength capability. Standard concrete as a density of around 2300kg/m3 and Lightweight concrete generally has densities of less than 2100kg/m3.
Note: availability varies by region so please check with our team whether this product is available locally.
