Airtec Large - Walls

LARGE AERATED CONCRETE WALL BLOCKS

Airtec Large wall blocks are designed to provide significantly improved thermal insultation and air-tightness for internal and external walls by reducing the proportion of mortar joints in a wall. This effect is even greater when used in conjunction with 2mm thin-joint construction where the mortar proportion can be reduced by around 87% when compared to conventional walls using 10mm mortar joints.

They can also be used as Flooring, see Large Aerated Concrete Floor Blocks for more information.

These Concrete Wall Blocks can halve the number of blocks required to construct a wall all as opposed to traditional 215mm high wall blocks. However even though they are twice the height of a normal 215mm block, their very low weight complies with the manual handling guidelines and minimises the amount of repetitive lifts required.

All Airtec products are ISO 9001 Quality and ISO 14001 Environmentally certified and with the highest possible BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing rating of ‘Excellent’.

In common with all other Airtec blocks, these lightweight large concrete blocks offer the very best possible dimensional tolerance category of 'Thin Layer Mortar B' (TLMB) but are perfectly suitable for conventional 10mm mortar joint construction.

Our Aerated Blocks for walls are available in ‘Standard’ texture finish providing a plain-faced, smooth, cellular texture which is a suitable background for accepting renders and plasters.

In common with all aerated concrete in the UK, the surfaces of the building blocks may contain a random number of larger natural air bubbles/cells on the block surface due to an unavoidable consequence of the manufacturing process. These large cells are perfectly normal and are not a defect and do not detract from performance in any way. Although the blocks can be painted, we cannot guarantee that the surfaces will not contain some of these larger cells and we therefore do not recommend using Airtec for paint-grade or fair-faced applications.

    • A range of a wagon sizes are available, with or without pallets. Ring your local Sales office for further details.
    • Block weight is at the equilibrium moisture content of 3% by weight.
    • Pack weight allows for maximum moisture content when packed, actual delivered weight will be less.
