Product description
Toplite Foundation aircrete blocks are produced specifically for use below DPC in solid walls. They can be used to support cavity, solid or framed construction and provide a number of benefits for below ground work. They are available in strengths of 3.6N/mm² and 7.3N/mm².

Face dimensions are 440mm long x 215mm high.
Toplite Foundation benefits
- Speed of construction - compared to cavity work, construction time is improved and the Foundation wall becomes stable soon after laying, allowing the early start of above ground work.
- Save money - replaces the inner and outer leaf, wall ties and concrete cavity fill associated with conventional cavity walls.
- Excellent performance - good resistance to freeze/thaw conditions and contributes to perimeter edge insulation.
- Suitable for use in sulfate conditions up to DS-3
