Durox Aircrete wall blocks
Supabloc
Key applications are solid walls, loadbearing and non-loadbearing
walls. Supabloc (3.6N/mm2) is primarily used to form the loadbearing
inner leaf of cavity walls. Other key applications are solid walls,
below dpc, and partitions both loadbearing and non-loadbearing.
Supabloc 4, 7 and 10
Durox Supabloc 4 may be used to form cavity separating walls. Other
key applications include the rendered outer leaf of cavity walls, below
dpc, and in situations where 4.2N/mm2 compressive strength is demanded.
Supabloc 7, and 10 meet the compressive strength criteria specified in
the Building Regulations Approved Document A. Suitable for multi-storey
applications, it may be used in outer and inner leaves of cavity walls,
internal partitions (loadbearing and non-loadbearing), below dpc, and in
cavity separating walls.
For details of cavity separating wall constructions using Supabloc 4 and
7 which comply with the latest Robust Details, please consult our
Technical Services Department for details of recommended designs for
separating walls.
System 500, 600 and 700
Durox System is recognised as a Modern Method of Construction (MMC)
combining the thermal efficiency of larger format Durox aircrete with
the significant productivity gains associated with the use of thin layer
mortars. System is produced in three strengths, 3.6, 4.2 and 7.3N/mm2,
and in a range of coursing heights. Its primary applications are the
inner leaf of external walls and solid external walls as well as cavity
separating walls.
Foundation Blocks
Durox Foundation blocks form a solid wall below dpc, to support solid
or cavity walls. Because of its excellent insulating properties, the
product provides perimeter insulation to ground floors. Construction
time may be halved compared to cavity construction. Wall ties and cavity
fill are no longer needed and the risk of collapsed cavities is
eliminated. The wall also becomes stable soon after laying. Durox
Foundation blocks are available in 3.6 and 7.3N/mm strength.
Floor Blocks
Durox Floor blocks are suitable for use in beam and block ground and
internal* floors. They are light and quick to install, and form an
immediate working platform which will also provide effective sound and
thermal insulation. Coursing bricks or slips are available for use with
this product. When installed as a ground floor they contribute towards
the thermal insulation of the floor by reducing the amount of additional
insulation that is required. Independent tests show that the sound
reduction (Rw) of a beam and block internal floor exceeds the
requirements of the Building Regulations.
* refers to internal floors in houses
