Application

Lignacrete Hollow blocks are ideal for constructing large internal walls in agricultural, commercial and recreational buildings. Walls can be loadbearing or non-loadbearing. Applications include:

  • External walls
  • Internal walls, including fire break walls
  • Retaining and bund walls - if required, the vertical cores can be reinforced for additional strength

Lignacrete Hollow blocks are medium grey to buff in colour. They are capable of being finished with all recognised treatments, including plaster, drylining and render, as well as cladding treatments. Paint Grade blocks can be directly painted.

Description

Lignacrete Hollow dense concrete blocks are robust and durable, with a technical performance that will fulfil most applications. They are manufactured to BS EN 771-3 and are available in Standard and Paint Grade (close textured for direct painting).

Lignacrete Hollow blocks have a face size of 440mm x 215mm.

Features and benefits:

  • Loadbearing and robust
  • Can accept rebar where additional strengthening is required
  • Highly durable material, ensuring a long lifespan for buildings
  • Convenient to handle
  • Credits available under BREEAM
  • BSI Kitemarked to BS EN 771-3

Rounded down to two decimal places; manufacturer's value is 0.126 kg·CO2e/kg.

Derived from the carbon value as per the EPD (23.6 kg·CO2e) divided by the unit mass (186 kg/m²).

Recyclability

100%

Expected Life

100 year

Guidance for specification option:

When properly constructed, the durability of walls built using Lignacrete 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 items such as 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 its service life.
