SIMS (SUPER INSULATED MASONRY SOLUTION) is a modern method of masonry construction combining the benefits of Mannok aircrete blocks with a certified external insulation system. This is tried and tested construction methodology, which is well established as best practise in many European countries and beyond. Its adoption is on the rise in Ireland thanks to the many advantages it offers, and it’s positioned to become one of the most widely used construction solutions here.

---|---|---|---|
Speed of Construction | Rapid | Rapid | Slow |
Thermal performance | Excellent | Good | Fair |
Structural Performance | Excellent | Fair | Good |
Fire Performance | 4 hrs | 30 mins | 2 hrs |

The combination of Mannok’s aircrete thermal blocks and an external insulation system minimises heat loss directly through the wall and at junctions.
Single leaf construction means only half the amount of blocks versus cavity walls, giving significant time saving on site.
Saves up to 20% on construction costs versus timber frame.
Up to 4 hours fire resistance easily achievable.
Significantly improved airtightness of the wall construction when built with thin joint mortar (optional).
