Application

Lignacite GP blocks suit all general-purpose walling applications. It is recommended that walls of 215mm thickness are constructed using 100mm blocks laid flat.

Can be used to construct internal walls in commercial, industrial and leisure buildings. The blocks can be used for the following:

The inner and outer leaves of external cavity walls;
Internal walls including fire break walls;
Separating walls including those conforming to Robust Detail specifications;
External and internal walls below ground (3.6 N/mm² blocks can be used in both inner leaf and internal walls; 7.3 N/mm² blocks to other locations).

Lignacite GP blocks are manufactured with a distinctive scratched surface to aid the application of plaster and render finishes. The blocks can accommodate drylining, dense plaster, finishing coats and external rendering.

Description

Lignacite GP medium density concrete blocks are robust and durable, making them the perfect choice for walls built above and below ground. Manufactured to BS EN 771-3, their textured faces provide an excellent surface for mortars, renders and plasters. They also provide a strong base for holding fixings.

Lignacite GP blocks contain a proportion of recycled materials, and their sustainability performance has been verified through an Environmental Performance Declaration (EPD).

Features and benefits:

Also available in 100 mm thickness (specified separately).
Also available in mean unit strengths of 3.6 or 10.4 N/mm², in both in 100 or 140 mm thicknesses (specified separately).
Robust and durable.
Good surface key for the direct application of plasters and renders.
For use internally and externally, above and below ground.
High levels of air tightness, sound insulation and fire resistance.
Provides a strong background for holding fixings.
Credits available under BREEAM.
BSI Kitemarked to BS EN 771-3.
Can be used to satisfy the requirements of Part L of the Building Regulations.
Good technical performance.

Stage Normalised unit (kg CO₂ eq/kg) Declared unit (kg CO₂ eq/m²) Stage:A1–A3 ('Production stage') Normalised unit : 0.059 (kg CO₂ eq/kg) Declared unit : 11.9 Lower emissions Value guidance: A1-A3 Rounded down to two decimal places; manufacturer's value is 0.168 kg·CO₂e/kg. This figure is derived from the carbon value as per the EPD divided by the unit mass.
Recyclability	100%
Expected Life	100 year Guidance for specification option: When properly constructed, the durability of walls built using Lignacite products will match that of traditional masonry and will fulfil their intended function for the life of the building in which they have been installed (typically 100 years). The blocks themselves will require no maintenance. Maintenance for walls will normally include the replacement of sealant in movement joints and at junctions / openings. Repointing for walls that are exposed to the elements may be necessary towards the end of their service life.
