Ytong BCA block masonry.
Masonry of Ytong BCA blocks
Low-energy blocks offer increased environmental comfort without consumption limitations, and maintenance costs are much lower than in a traditional building. Nowadays, there is a growing demand for the use of natural 100% building materials with increased thermal efficiency and reduced carbon footprint, such as Ytong autoclaved aerated concrete.
Advantages of using Ytong BCA masonry
Ytong BCA masonry offers numerous advantages, and here are 10 of the most significant:
- Excellent thermal insulation. Ytong BCA has superior thermal insulation properties, maintaining comfortable internal temperatures all year round and reducing heating and cooling costs.
- Energy efficiency. Thanks to their excellent thermal insulation, homes with BCA masonry require less energy to maintain thermal comfort, which contributes to increased energy efficiency.
- Fire resistance. Ytong BCA is a fire-resistant material, which increases the safety of residents in case of fire.
- Earthquake resistance. The cellular structure of concrete makes it flexible and able to absorb seismic shocks, which increases the earthquake resistance of the building.
- Easy to process. Ytong BCA is easy to cut and machine, which facilitates the installation of installation systems as well as subsequent building modifications.
- Quality sound insulation. Thanks to its porous structure, Ytong BCA provides excellent sound insulation, helping to reduce outside noise and create a quiet indoor environment.
- Health and environment. Ytong BCA is an environmentally friendly material, made from natural raw materials and with low energy consumption. It does not emit toxic or harmful substances during use or operation.
- Resistance to mould and pests. Concrete is inherently resistant to the growth of mould, fungi and pest infestation, ensuring a healthy building environment.
- Durability. Ytong BCA blocks are durable and long lasting, requiring little maintenance over time.
- Design flexibility. Ytong BCA can be used to create a variety of architectural shapes and designs, offering freedom in building design.
These advantages make BCA Ytong an excellent choice for building sustainable, energy-efficient and comfortable homes.
Why choose BCA masonry for our blocks?
Autoclaved cellular concrete, known as AAC, is an innovative building solution that helps to build strong, durable and economical blocks. It is a relatively new material, and there are still many misconceptions about it, some knowingly maintained by companies in the construction industry.
BCA is made only from natural raw materials in a low-energy technological process. The entire manufacturing process is environmentally friendly, with no emissions of harmful substances that affect human health or the environment. The basic raw materials that make up the mixture used for BCA are lime, gypsum, cement, sand and water. In addition, aluminium paste is added, which helps to form air bubbles during the 'baking' process. Aluminium is also a material used in the food industry, in juice and beer cans, food foil and some cutlery.
Concrete - a good THERMAL insulator
With the materials used, already mentioned, those air bubbles inside the BCA are obtained, which play an extremely important role. They make the blocks of material maintain comfortable temperatures inside throughout the year, contributing to significant energy savings. Air bubbles help reduce heat loss in winter and keep cool in summer. At the same time, they contribute to good sound insulation.
Autoclaved aerated concrete, or AAC for short, is the perfect solution for building solid, healthy, strong and environmentally friendly blocks. At Lapis Residence, We care about providing the best living conditions for our tenants, and the use of BCA is one of our steps towards a more sustainable and comfortable future.

Different Types of Walls Made with Ytong BCA: A Versatile Solution for Thermal Efficiency and Durability
Walls Made Without the Need for an Additional Thermal Insulation Layer
When it comes to building a home, choosing the right masonry materials can make a significant difference to thermal comfort and energy efficiency. Using energy-efficient wall materials can ensure a near-constant temperature inside your home, cushioning temperature variations between day and night.
This is one of the reasons why YTONG blocks were invented, to enable the construction of well-insulated buildings. Today, they are the best performing energy masonry solutions in Romania.
YTONG A+ masonry blocks manage to maintain a constant temperature inside the building without the need for additional thermal insulation on the façade. The thickness of these blocks can reach up to 50 cm, which guarantees thermal insulation superior to the most demanding building regulations in Romania. Another key aspect is that these YTONG A+ blocks are made of 100% natural and mineral materials, allowing water vapour to circulate outwards. This ensures that the optimum level of humidity is maintained inside the home, contributing to a healthy environment for the occupants and extending the life of the building. This property of YTONG blocks is called vapour permeability.
Walls Made in Masonry System in Combination with Thermal Insulation Layer
If the construction project involves building masonry walls over which an additional thermal insulation layer is subsequently applied, YTONG Basic masonry blocks are the ideal solution. They are extremely easy to transport and install, thanks to their gripping handles and nut and bolt joint system.
When using YTONG Basic blocks, you can be sure that the resulting walls will be perfectly straight. Working speed with YTONG blocks is 60%-80% faster than with other masonry materials, which can save time and money. Each row of blocks is laid using a thin-bed mortar with a layer of approximately 2 mm, thus reducing mortar consumption to a minimum. Also, material losses on site are only 2%, which contributes to efficiency and economy in the construction process.
YTONG masonry blocks are an excellent choice for building projects that target energy efficiency, thermal insulation and durability. They offer flexibility in design and provide a comfortable and healthy environment inside homes, helping to create an ideal living space.
