From the thermal point of view, heat transmission through C.C. is much reduced, due the presence of a multitude of small and very fine reticules of hardening cement. This contains air enclosed in bubbles with a volume as sufficiently small as heat transmission not to take place via convection. Thus, the transmission of heat through them has to take place via conduction, and considering that air is a powerful thermal insulator, this means that, for heat to pass through cellular concrete, it must travel through a very long and complex path via the solid matrix.

In addition, cellular concrete is a good acoustic insulator, due to the transmission of sound is joined to the transmission of pressure waves through the material.
