Medium density concrete blocks.
Typical locations include:
Ash GP medium density concrete blocks are robust and durable, making them a suitable choice for walls built above and below ground. Manufactured to BS EN 771-3, their textured faces provide a surface for mortars, renders and plasters. They also provide a strong base for holding fixings.
Ash GP blocks contain a proportion of recycled materials, and their sustainability performance has been verified through an Environmental Performance Declaration (EPD).
Features and benefits:
Mortar:
Generally, the mortar type for work above ground level should be designation (iii) / Compressive Class M4. Stronger mixes may be required if blocks are used below ground. Consult manufacturer for details.
Movement:
Vertical movement joints should be considered in accordance with masonry design codes and the recommendations of Published Document PD 6697, at 6.0 — 7.0 metre spacings. In areas of increased stress, such as above and below openings in external walls, the blockwork may need to be reinforced to restrain movement.
Design:
The design of walls should be in accordance with relevant design standards including BS 8103-2, BS EN 1996-1-1 and the requirements of the Building Regulations.
