Description

Our Thermalite Hi-Strength 7 range is engineered for higher-load environments, including dwellings above 2.5 storeys and room-in-roof construction, where increased structural capacity is required.

Delivering a compressive strength of 7.3 N/mm², this robust block provides reliable structural support when strength and durability are non-negotiable.

Manufactured in accordance with BS EN 771-4, complies with all relevant Masonry Wall Robust Details, and aids in compliance of Building Regulations – Approved Documents Part A, B, E & L.
