Thermalite Aircrete Block - 140mm - 3.6N

The primary advantage is their excellent thermal and sound insulation properties, combined with a lightweight yet strong construction suitable for load-bearing walls.

Yes, they offer moisture resistance and can be used below ground, but require proper damp-proof courses and protection from continuous saturation as per building regulations.

The compressive strength of this specific block is 3.6 Newtons per square millimeter (N/mm²).

Their high thermal insulation properties reduce heat loss, leading to lower heating and cooling costs for the building, thus improving overall energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions.

Standard cement, lime, and sand mortar mixes are generally suitable, but it's recommended to consult the manufacturer's guidelines for specific mortar recommendations to ensure optimal performance.

The face size of the block is 440mm x 215mm, with a thickness of 140mm.

Yes, Thermalite aircrete blocks have fire-resistant properties, contributing to the overall safety of the building structure.

Ensure blocks are stored correctly on a dry surface and protected from rain. Implement proper damp-proof courses and consider temporary covering during extended wet weather.

Ensure blocks are clean and free from dust before laying. Use appropriate trowel techniques to fill joints fully. Check for block uniformity and adjust mortar consistency as needed.

Verify that mortar joints are fully filled and there are no gaps. Ensure the correct type of insulation (if any) is used in conjunction with the blocks as per design specifications. Check for air leakage points around openings.

Handle blocks with care, using appropriate lifting aids where necessary. Use a sharp saw blade or a quality block splitter for cutting. Ensure cutting is done on a stable surface.
