The density of foam concrete usually varies from 400 kg/m 3 to 1600 kg/m 3. The density is normally controlled by substituting all or part of the fine aggregate with the foam.
The history of thinset dates back to the post-World War II era when the tile industry sought more efficient methods for tile installation. [7] Before thinset, the standard method for installing tiles was the thick-set or mud-set method, which involved a thick layer of a sand and cement mixture.
