STRUCTURAL BUILDING ELEMENT

摘要

This invention provides structural building elements having improved insulation properties. The element comprises a monolithic form with at least a pair of opposed faces and at least one aperture which extends between the opposed faces. The building element is formed of a mixture of expanded cellular synthetic material and cementitious material with the cellular material being distributed throughout the structural element. The cellular material is comprised of discrete particles of a dimension not greater than 10 mm and has a substantially closed cellular structure. The cementitious material forms a matrix binding the cellular material into the monolithic form.
