Currently, some developers prefer to use expanded polystyrene and at the same time talk about its advantages. If you read this article carefully to the end, you will be able to understand that building a house using styrofoam is a bad idea. Recently, the Kazakh construction company Bionic Forms, specializing in the construction of houses on styrofoam piles, has been at the center of a scandal after a series of negative reviews from customers who faced problems after renting their houses. Several people report cracks in the walls and black mold at once. People complain that the company has not fulfilled its obligations under the contract, has not provided the proper level of service, and in winter it is almost impossible to stay in houses because of the cold. Bionic Forms positions styrofoam as a revolutionary Japanese material that is much stronger than brick and completely immune to mold. In a beautifully made Instagram, the head Maxim Bespayev talks about the unprecedented density of the material – 15 times warmer than bricks. Maxim assures that in winter an ordinary heater will be enough for absolute comfort. However, Gulmira Alishanova, who ordered a house from him in August 2023, is outraged – "In winter it is simply impossible to stay in the house. It seems like you're just sitting outside. You try to understand where it blows from, but it seems that it blows from everywhere." Experienced technologists will easily explain Gulmira's claims - according to the new standards, the thickness of the polystyrene foam layer in walls and panels with flexible metal connections has to be increased to 15-30 cm, respectively. With an increased thickness of insulation in the walls, shrinkage phenomena and temperature deformations increase, which leads to the formation of cracks, ruptures of contact zones with structural materials, air permeability, vapor permeability change and, ultimately, the thermal protective qualities of external enclosing structures decrease. In the northern regions of Kazakhstan, walls with increased thermal insulation thickness do not have time to enter a quasi-stationary humidity state, which leads to systematic accumulation of moisture and accelerated frost destruction, reduced service life and more frequent major repairs. At the same time, for all styrofoam, it should be noted that the natural removal of low-heat conducting gas from the pores and filling the pores with air. I.e., over time, the thermal protection characteristics of styrofoam deteriorate, even without any external factors affecting it. Which easily explains both the cold and the numerous cracks. Bionic Forms' Instagram also lures with stories about the high heat resistance of styrofoam, and buildings are presented as fire-resistant. However, the authors are silent about what exactly happens to the material under the influence of high temperatures. The main danger for wall structures is not the low fire resistance of expanded polystyrene, but its low heat resistance. Even before ignition, at t = 80-90 C, degradation processes begin to develop in expanded polystyrene with a change in volume and the release of harmful substances. The fires that occur in such houses, as a result of the spread of the temperature wave, destroy the insulation in the walls. Studies conducted on concrete, mortar and ceramic samples (30x30x20cm) with internal cavities filled with expanded polystyrene (20x20x10cm) have shown that their exposure at a temperature of 100-110 C for 2 hours leads to almost complete destruction of expanded polystyrene with a decrease in volume by 3-5 times. At the same time, the gas taken from the cavities contained harmful substances. The abundant release of harmful substances began at a temperature of only 80 C and continued until the styrofoam was completely melted. As a result, after the fire, the house will simply become uninhabitable. Summarizing all of the above: the properties of expanded polystyrene can vary greatly when exposed to uncontrolled random factors and choosing it as a heater and base material is not economically profitable (when operating a building for more than 10 years) and potentially dangerous. In small things, angry people also mention the insufficient number of outlets, problems with electricity and water supply. All this may additionally indicate the poor quality of the company's work and its original goal is simply to profit from human credulity. Luring buyers with a low price for a house (about 6 million tenge, Bionic Forms does not plan to try in any way for such an amount. One of the disappointed customers, Mamyr Islambek, also notes the lack of responsibility on the part of Bionic Forms, and the refusal to correct defects. "They blamed us for the cracks that appeared after the construction," Islambek is indignant - "they are just trying to blame all the problems on the customers." People want to believe in magic and quality for cheapness, which is what such "revolutionary" companies successfully use. One can only sympathize with the victims and draw a conclusion about the unfriendly approach of Bionic Forms to its customers. It is hoped that the deceived people will make a collective request to the authorities, since the company must take responsibility for the problems that have arisen, correct the shortcomings and compensate for the damage, including moral damage. Well, we urge all other Kazakhstanis to be vigilant and remember that free cheese, as usual, happens only in mousetraps.
