Depending on the thermal performance and compressive strength
etc. required from the wall a wide range of Interfuse
blocks can be used on the external and internal leaf of
the cavity wall, party walls and partition walls.
Concrete Blocks in Outer Leaf Walls
The use of our dense and lightweight blocks are suited
for the construction of outer leaf walls, where rendering,
cladding or tiling is to be used. They are capable of
accepting a wide range of fixings and finishes and are
available in various strengths and weights.
Concrete Blocks on Inner Leaf Walls
There are many ways to build cavity walls so they meet
the required performance levels for acoustic and thermal
insulation. The inner leaf is usually loadbearing and
compressive strength and dry shrinkage are important factors
met by using Interfuse blocks.
Block walling helps to minimise movement reducing the
risk of shrinkage and cracking, adding sound reduction
and offering good fire protection.

by contacting our sales office.
BEAM AND BLOCK FLOORS
Interlyte, Intercrete and Ultra & Optilyte blocks have been tested
and approved for beam and block floors. Their dimensional
accuracy and good flexural strength are ideal for T-beam
construction. Certain specifications are put in place by
the floor beam manufacturer which will designate which Interfuse
block is appropriate for a particular contract.
