Leca® Lightweight Concrete

One of the primary benefits of using Leca® Lightweight Aggregate Concrete (LWAC) in lightweight concrete production is its reduced weight. The aggregate's unique porous structure significantly decreases the overall weight of the concrete, making them easier to handle and transport.
