Load-bearing, thermal insulation block that eliminates cold bridging at the wall/ floor junction.
Designed to be placed at the base of a masonry or timber framed wall to address the thermal bridge.
With a compressive strength of 9 N/mm², Thermoblock can be used at the base of load-bearing walls, either replacing the bottom row of aircrete blocks, beneath the floor flab or beneath a timber frame’s sole plate to stop the cold bridge from occurring.
Features and benefits:
Thickness:
- 53 mm:
Made to order. Thermoblock-PIR, flame resistant. Designed to be resistant from distortion from flame guns:
- 65 mm thickness:
- 100 mm thickness:
Provides 33% more insulation than the standard Thermoblock:
Width:
It is important to ensure that walls are wider than the width of the Thermoblocks that they are placed upon. Consult manufacturer for details.
Marmox sealant is recommended for sealing the ends of the Thermoblocks together to prevent moisture intake and to ensure building air tightness.
For fitting instructions onto different types of substrate, consult manufacturer's literature.
Application:
Designed to be placed at the base of a masonry or timber framed wall to address the thermal bridge.
