A concrete acoustic masonry block, engineered to provide acoustic absorption.
Suitable for use in the construction of external and internal loadbearing and non-loadbearing walls, including the inner and outer leaves of cavity walls, party walls, partition walls and boundary walls. Can also be used as reinforced masonry walls through incorporation of bed joint reinforcement. Other applications include:
Slotted face acoustic masonry blocks with enhanced acoustic properties, that are achieved through the use of Helmholtz resonating chambers. They have been developed to reduce sound reverberation in both internal and external applications, promoting clarity to speech or music and reducing overall noise levels.
Manufactured from cement, porous aggregates (65% recycled secondary aggregate content), an integral waterproofing and colour pigment.
