FAQ

FAQ

  • What advantages does Neopol block have as a building material?
    In short, Neopor block is a product that solves both insulation and formwork at once. This product has been recognized as the world’s strongest building insulation material.
  • In which country were Neopol Block products developed?
    A Korean company receives design drawings from Germany's BASF, one of the world's top three chemical companies, and develops, processes, and produces them. Currently, only Germany and Korea are making Neopor blocks in the world, and our company holds the Asian distributor license in Korea.
  • What are the patents?
    The head office in Germany has registered a global patent, and ICF Korea in Korea has registered a patent for Neopol block construction materials. Registered a patent for zero inter-floor noise slab. Registered a patent for energy saving, soundproofing, waterproofing, fire prevention, zero sick building syndrome building walls. 2007 Eco-Friendly Award, 2008 Excellent Purchase Recommendation Excellent invention registered in the Korea Construction Technology Award.
  • Are there any bacteria or sick building syndrome?
    Yes, not at all. This product received the eco-friendly award. There is no problem with sick building syndrome, allergies, or dermatitis.
  • Is there any condensation?
    Yes, not at all. Because the concrete liquid does not leak out of the Neopol block, the strength of the concrete increases by more than 20%.
  • How effective is it against earthquakes?
    Even if a hurricane comes, there is no problem at all. Neopol blocks exhibit tensile strength up to an earthquake of 6.0 without rebar up to the third floor.
  • Is it earthquake-resistant?
    It is fully earthquake-resistant up to 6.0 using only Neopol blocks. If you build with rebar according to the Korean Building Code, the intensity increases up to an earthquake of 7.0.
  • Are there any problems with concrete curing?
    Yes, not at all. Due to the tensile force, there are no problems with high-rise construction, and in fact, it has the effect of speeding up the construction period and making the building frame stronger.
  • How resistant to salt is it?
    Yes it is very strong. Neopor raw material itself is a strong salt content.
  • What about fire safety?
    Yes it is very safe. As a flame retardant grade 2 material, it is not hazardous to fire and is not flammable.
  • How good is inter-floor noise and soundproofing?
    Yes, the effect is far superior to that of any other building. When building between floors, the Neopor concrete slab thickness is 45 cm. The sound insulation effect is over 90% effective.
  • How good is the thermal insulation?
    This product has been proven to be the world's strongest by the World Building Materials Testing Institute. World testing institutes show that it is effective for 1 meter and 20 centimeters of regular concrete.
  • How much energy is saved?
    It received the highest score in the world during insulation testing around the world. Energy savings of more than 50% can be clearly felt.
  • How long can a building last?
    In Korea, current concrete structures need to be rebuilt after 50 years, but if built with Neopor blocks, they can have a lifespan of over 200 years.
  • Is this an eco-friendly product?
    Yes, this product received the eco-friendly building material award. What is Neopor block material made of? This product is a mixture of graphite and charcoal powder.
  • Can only the frame be built with Neopol blocks?
    Yes it is possible. After constructing the frame with Neopor blocks, any finishing material can be used.
  • Is it possible to build livestock buildings and low-temperature warehouses with Neopol blocks?
    Yes, it's perfect. It has the function of keeping the temperature warm when it is cold and very cool when it is hot.
  • Is it possible for seaside buildings and seafood warehouses that are resistant to salt and are essential for low-temperature warehouses?
    It is a perfect building material for freezers, refrigerated warehouses, and workshops. It saves energy, has a temperature difference of more than 5 degrees when working with seafood, and is resistant to salt, so the structure does not rot or rust and lasts a long time.
  • Can Neopor blocks be reused or recycled?
    Yes, both are available.
  • How many types of Neopor blocks are there?
    There are currently five types. We are continuing to develop it to provide greater convenience, safety, and lower prices in the future.
  • How safe is the construction site?
    It's 100% safe. The construction material is light and safe, so there is no risk at all. The environment around the construction site is also very clean.
  • Does a lot of construction waste occur?
    Since it is an insulating material, derivatives actually create better buildings by inserting them into gaps and reinforcing them.
  • Do I need to learn construction skills separately?
    Anyone with even the slightest interest in architecture can easily learn it, and I recommend it as a promising career in the future.
  • How much is the labor cost savings?
    There is a 50% savings compared to concrete construction manpower.
  • Can women also build architecture?
    Yes, it is possible. Neopor blocks are a very light and safe material, so anyone can do it.
  • What is the difference between concrete construction costs and price competitiveness?
    There is a savings of more than 20% compared to current concrete construction costs. Of course, we can confidently say that the level of construction is top-notch.
  • Is the design the same as regular reinforced concrete?
    Even if the design has already been designed, changes can be made immediately. The construction method is the same as regular concrete construction.
  • What finishing materials are used?
    Yes, all existing architectural finishing materials can be used.
  • How many Neopor block buildings are there across the country?
    There are approximately 370 units across the country.
  • Where are Neopor blocks best suited?
    Residential construction requiring energy conservation, hospitals, hotels, condos, pensions, nursing homes, officetels, country houses, golftels, villas, villas, military, APT, beaches, livestock barns, cold storages, logistics warehouses, factory buildings, sports centers, convention halls , campsite) Any type of construction is possible.
