Product description
The A24 Concrete Block is a robust, solid masonry unit designed for structural integrity and durability in modern construction projects. Compliant with EN 1996-1-1 standards, this block belongs to Group 1 (solid), ensuring it can withstand significant load-bearing pressures when oriented perpendicular to the bed faces. With a normalized strength range of 7.3 to 10.4 N/mm², it provides a reliable foundation for walls that require high resistance to compression and shear forces.
Engineered with a dry density of 1960 kg/m³, this block offers excellent thermal mass and sound insulation properties. It is classified as non-combustible (Reaction to Fire: A1) and frost-resistant above 7.2 N/mm², making it suitable for various climatic conditions. The dimensional stability is kept below 0.6mm/m, ensuring precise alignment during construction and minimizing long-term structural shifts.
- High Structural Strength: Normalised compressive strength of 7.3 - 10.4 N/mm² for load-bearing applications.
- Standard Dimensions: 400mm x 200mm x 200mm nominal size with D1 tolerance for consistent fit.
- Durable Material: Non-combustible (A1) and frost-resistant, ensuring longevity in diverse environments.
- Excellent Insulation: Thermal conductivity of 1.00 W/(m.k) and Group 1 sound insulation for comfortable interiors.
- High Bond Strength: Shear bond strength of 0.15 N/mm² ensures secure adhesion with standard masonry mortars.
