Lightweight

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.

Where strict 20 kilogram single lift requirements are needed a choice of 100mm or 140mm thick block can be used in either STANDARD or FAIR FACED application.

On 6th April 2006 the revised Building Regulations Part L ‘Conservation of fuel and power’ 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/m²K, 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).
