Foam concete for me is a concrete that has additives to produce gas, so you get enclosed bubbles. For me it is called gas concrete. Depending on the amount of gas you can get a concrtet with more insulation or more strength. For this kind of concrete and the use of it always ask an expert!

Foam concrete is a unique product which has the strength of the cement and yet lightweight . Its durability is remarkable with sand & high dosage of fly ash making it an economical and environment friendly green product. This mixture is volumeised by addition of a foaming agent which enhances the volume and thus lightens the mixture. Further this is cured in air just like normal concrete and finally used.
