Thomas Armstrong - Divisions

14 affordable dwellings, built to comply with the rigorous energy efficiency standards of the Passivhaus scheme and Code Level 4, have been built using Airtec aerated blocks.

We are delighted to announce that we have been successful in achieving ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification for our concrete block manufacturing facilities at Rowlands Gill, Newcastle and Stocks Bros Ltd, Leeds.

Thomas Armstrong (Concrete Blocks) Limited are now offering an Airtec aerated block which can be used as a 10.4N/mm2 high strength block on high rise buildings.

Airtec aerated concrete blocks were chosen as the building block for a number of high quality luxury apartments in Cadiz, Spain.

NHBC market share statistics confirm that masonry had never secured two successive quarter gains in market share since records begun. In 2009 this was shattered with three successive quarterly gains cumulating in a one third shift in market share in favour of masonry.
