2.9 N/mm² LIGHTWEIGHT AERATED CONCRETE WALL BLOCKS

Airtec XL is our lowest weight and thermally best performing wall blocks in our entire Airtec block range, possessing a thermal conductivity value of only 0.09 W/mK - unique and unrivalled by any other aerated concrete block with a strength of 2.9 N/mm².

In common with all other Airtec Aerated blocks, they offer the very best possible dimensional tolerance category of 'Thin Layer Mortar B' (TLMB) but are perfectly suitable for conventional 10mm mortar joint construction. The inner leaf of Airtec XL blocks gives the builder the option of using a 75mm cavity, either partially-filled or fully-filled whilst still achieving a U-Value of 0.30 W/m²K.

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

Our Aerated Concrete Wall Blocks are a cost-effective solution to the ever-increasingly stringent requirements of Part L of the Building Regulations. This allows the builder to minimise the amount of secondary insulation required to meet thermal regulations, as well as meeting the strength requirements of the very latest UK building codes.

Our Airtec Concrete blocks are available in a ‘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.
    • Other thicknesses available to order but are not kept as general stock sizes
    • 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
    • m² per pack figure based on the inclusion of conventional 10mm mortar joints
    • Health & Safety guidelines recommend that precautions be taken when using blocks over 20kg in weight.
