Application

Suitable for use in the following walls:

  • Internal partition walls.
  • Inner and outer leaves of external cavity walls up to three storeys.
  • Building Regulations (E&W) Approved Document E and Robust Detail acoustic separating walls.

Description

Cellular dense concrete blocks offer a lower weight alternative to solid dense blocks with improved thermal properties. Blinded cells on the upper bed face allows for a full bed of mortar and easier build.


Features and benefits:

  • Durable and resilient block suitable for high strength, acoustic and decorative applications.
  • Manufactured from Class 2 aggregates and consist of up to 20% recycled raw material.
  • Produced to BS EN 771-3.
