Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These blocks are designed to be laid using standard masonry mortar. Ensure a level and prepared foundation or supporting structure before commencing. For structural applications, always follow project-specific engineering designs and building regulations. Ensure correct alignment and bonding patterns for load-bearing walls.
Compatibility: The Thermalite Hi-Strength 7 Aircrete Block is compatible with most standard building materials, including conventional mortars, renders, plasters, and fixings. It can be integrated into timber frame, steel frame, and traditional masonry constructions. Ensure any direct-to-block finishes are suitable for aircrete.
Care: Store blocks on a level surface, preferably on pallets, away from prolonged direct moisture or extreme weather conditions. Protect from damage during transport and handling. Once installed, the blocks require minimal ongoing care, with maintenance typically focused on the applied finishes (render, plaster, etc.).
