Lightweight Concrete Blocks
The lightweight building blocks that the trade prefer.
Lightweight concrete blocks are sustainable, being manufactured from recycled aggregates and are recognised by bricklayers as their preferred block of choice to lay. Weighing 40% lighter than conventional building blocks, WH&S risks and lifting injuries are therefore reduced. Lightweight concrete blocks are quicker to lay, cost-effective and importantly, cheaper to freight than competing products. Additionally; each block has hollow cores for the mortar to bond into which ensures maximum bond strength. The blocks have a textured but even surface finish are supplied in various widths and size configurations to suit a number of needs such as foundation walls or rendered projects. Finally, the blocks have a compressive strength of 12mpa and are a sustainable product as they are manufactured with ash aggregates.
Lightweight render bricks 230mmL x 162mmH x 110mmW are available for rendering projects. Render and texture applicators save valuable time on preparation costs because they are true to size: the bricks are ready to render with guaranteed size tolerances which exceed the Australian standards.
