The light concrete of expanded Polystyrene is an innovation in the construction market, as it stands out for its execution, cost and efficiency. This new technique seeks to provide the constructions: lightness, cost reduction, reduction of time in works and good thermal and acoustic performance, producing comfort to the environment.
