The blocks are readily available in a design of solid, cellular and hollow configurations offering both the architect and engineer a flexible choice of design requirements with a standard face size of 440 x 215mm.

Design thermal conductivity of Dense blocks for the purposes of calculation is 1.13 W/mK (protected).

Lightweight aggregate blocks offer the customer a simple method of both achieving the new thermal regulations and single lift handling requirements.

Blocks are manufactured in accordance with BS EN 771-3 from a mixture of furnace bottom ash and approved lightweight aggregates. The block is fully adaptable for all methods of housing and industrial buildings.

On 6th April 2006 the revised Building Regulations Part L ï¿½Conservation of fuel and powerï¿½ will require higher levels of insulation within the fabric of the building for walls, floors and roofs together with heating controls to attain a measured figure of total heat retention and energy efficiency.

The wall U-Value guidance figure for aiding complience with SAP 2005 is 0.30W/mï¿½K, which can be achieved using a lightweight block and either partial fill of full fill cavity insulation.

Design thermal conductivity of Lightweight blocks for the purposes of calculation is 0.42 W/mK (protected).

Foundation Blocks Widely used by major housebuilders since their introduction ten years ago, these blocks offer an efficient, simple and cost effective method of block construction below d.p.c. saving on labour and mortar.
