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).
Interstitial and surface condensation completely eliminated.
