The paper deals with laboratory research and development of alkali activated system with thermal insulation properties, where, such as additive, low density materials are used. The experiment is focused on strength and heat conductivity of prepared substances. In research five kinds of mixtures were prepared. The values of compressive strength and thermal conductivity of tested admixtures qualitatively correspond to commercially available building material. Results are foundations for next lightweight alkali activated system development and research focused on practical application in building.
