Glossary of Construction Terms

What is Aggregate?

  • Volcanic materials of various sizes and naturally occurring.
What is pumice?

  • It is a natural volcanic rock formed as a result of volcanic eruptions with porous structure, lightness and high isolation value. General name of the mine.
What is Bims?

  • It is a small caliber of pumice stone. It is also used as the raw material of Blokbims products.
What is Lento?

  • It is a complementary product made of pumice with iron reinforcement which is used on the doors and windows.
What is U Block?

  • It is a complementary material which prevents the formation of heat or sound bridge on the walls and provides ease for the user in high walls which need to be removed. It is used in the high walls such as business centers, factory and car park.
What is Plate?

  • It is a product used in the application of transporting electrical cables underground. It is a product that can be installed under the styrofoam asmolen and it can be used as a complementary material with 5-6 cm openings under the beam.
What is Sound Absorption?

  • Sound insulation is the use of materials with low permeability or high permeability to prevent noise. The pumice stone structure is porous and minimizes the sound permeability thanks to the air voids.
What is the Heat Bridge?

  • Thermal bridges are areas with a much greater heat permeability than the average heat permeability. In the structure, the heat transfer due to the material or the construction is intense compared to the other parts of the structure.
What is Volume Volume Weight?

  • The ratio of the weight of a substance to the volume.
What is Dry Unit Weight?

  • Since it is printed with cement, it contains liquid. 30-35% moisture content after the production of the material after a period of 1 month to reach the dry unit weight. The unit weight of a floor with only air in its cavities is also called the unit unit weight.
What is EKB?

  • Energy Identity Certificate According to the an Energy Efficiency Law No. 5627 mes and the ına Energy Performance Regulation in Buildings “, the energy requirement and energy of the building are Consumption classification is a document containing information on insulation properties and efficiency of heating and / or cooling systems.
What is UTO?

  • National Technical Approval Certificate. Blokbims product thanks to the insulation value of TS and these values before ITBAK has a high thermal insulation value is the official document which is valid throughout Turkey.
What is Fire Resistance?

  • Our products are of A1 class fire resistance class and our products do not react to any chemical or physical reaction to 1200 degrees Celsius.
What is Water Vapor Permeability?

  • It refers to the amount of water vapor passing through the unit area per unit of time under certain temperature, humidity and thickness conditions of a material and indicates how many times more resistance of any material than air.
a heat zone?

  • According to geographical location and climatic characteristics of Turkey is composed of four temperature zones. And the heat maps of these 4 heat regions, just like the climate characteristics, are different.
What is Thermal Behavior?

  • The 4 heat zones have separate thermal behavior base values according to the hardness of the climatic conditions. These values aim to prevent heat loss of buildings and to save energy.
What is Lamda Value?

  • Depending on the physical and chemical structure of a material, it is an expression of how much material transmits heat.
What is Compressive Strength ?

  • It is the highest pressure force that the material can carry.
What is Mortar Pockets?

  • There are mortar chambers in the form of pocket between the two products in the wall manufacturing vertically side by side. Such products are called mortar pockets.
What is Air Conditioner Blok?

  • Thanks to the special design of BlokBims, it is the general name given to the products providing high heat and Sound insulation and providing the mantle without requiring a separate heat insulation.
What is Interlaced Bims?

  • In the wall application of the product, it is the interlocking of the material without the need for any mortar at the vertical intersections.
What is TS-EN 771-3?

  • Masonry units - Specifications - Part 3 Concrete masonry units (dense and light aggregate) are the standard applied by TSE for BlokBims industry.
What is TS-EN 771-1?

  • Masonry units- Specifications - Part 1: Clay brick units (Brick). It is the standard applied by TSE for brick industry.
What is TS-EN 771-2?

  • Masonry units- Properties - Part 2: Lime sandstone masonry units. It is the standard applied by TSE for the Limestone sector.
What is TS-EN 771-4?

  • Masonry units - Specifications - Part 2: Gas concrete masonry units. TSE is the standard applied for the aerated concrete industry.
What is TS - 825?

  • Thermal insulation materials-For buildings-Determination of surface flatness. It is the table where the thermal conductivity calculation value of the product is taken.
What is TS - EN 845-2?

  • Carrier - Auxiliary components - Specifications - Part 2: Lentos. It is the standard applied by TSE for Lento production.
What is CE?

  • The CE marking is used to facilitate the free movement of goods within the framework of the European Union's technical legislation harmonization and to enable consumers to identify products classified as safe. All of BlockBims products have CE certificate.
What is Kagir?

  • Blockbims, stone or concrete blocks, such as various natural and artificial materials with units, usually using the mortar as a binding material is called the construction of the construction.
What is Leed?

  • The LEED green building rating system, which defines high-performance buildings that are healthier, more environment-friendly and more economical than the classic buildings, is a voluntary standard, making it easy for you to obtain this document with BlokBims products.
What is BEP-TR?

  • Energy Performance in Buildings. In order for the buildings to receive an Energy Identity Certificate, their energy performance needs to be determined. BlokBims products are included in the BEP-TR library.
What is Heat Insulation?

  • Thermal insulation is the process of preventing the hot or cold air from entering or leaving the houses by means of heat bridges. BlokBims can be used on the wall alone without any extra heat insulation with Block Block.
