Although Airtec blocks are some of the lightest masonry products available, good manual handling practice should be employed at all times and specialist advice should be sought when dealing with blocks over 20kg in repetitive handling situations. 

STORAGE: 

Airtec blocks are supplied in banded, plastic-wrapped packs and should be stored on firm, level ground. Care should be taken when unwrapping and un-banding the packs as individual blocks may fall over. We recommend a maximum of 4 packs high for storage on firm, level ground. On soft, loose or uneven ground do not stack higher than 2 packs.

Airtec blocks should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
