Volcanic Block Resistance to Harsh Weather Conditions
Saudi Arabia is characterized by a harsh desert climate, with temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius in summer. This requires building materials capable of withstanding these harsh conditions.
Saudi Climate Challenges
- Very high temperatures in summer
- Large variation between day and night temperatures
- Strong and direct sunlight
- Frequent sandstorms
- High humidity in coastal areas
How Does Volcanic Block Handle These Challenges?
Heat Resistance
Volcanic blocks can withstand temperatures up to 1000 degrees Celsius without any effect on their mechanical or insulation properties.
Dimensional Stability
Volcanic blocks do not noticeably expand or contract with temperature changes, preventing wall cracks.
UV Resistance
Block properties are not affected by continuous UV exposure, unlike some plastic materials.
Resistance Tests
Volcanic blocks have undergone rigorous tests including:
- Freeze-thaw test (500 cycles)
- UV exposure test (1000 hours)
- Moisture resistance test
- Salinity resistance test for coastal areas
Customer Testimonials
After 10 years of building with volcanic blocks, there are no cracks or problems in the walls despite harsh weather conditions. - Ahmed from Jeddah
Conclusion
Volcanic blocks are specifically designed to withstand harsh weather conditions in the region, making them the optimal choice for construction in Saudi Arabia.
