A special situation results from the changed DIN. After World War II, amidst the rubble and destruction, a way was discovered to take the huge volumes of wood waste, grind it into chips, mineralize the chips to neutralize the natural sugars that cause rot, and bond them to cement to form a building block. Lightweight concrete blocks accordingly combine extensive sound insulation with outstanding thermal insulation.
