Product Overview
Thermalite Aircrete Shield packs ensure you can complete large construction projects with ultimate efficiency. When you purchase Thermalites in bulk;
- The cost per unit decreases, allowing for a greater return on your investment.
- You won’t have to worry about your Thermalites getting damaged in transit.
- Buying smaller quantities more regularly is a pricier route as you will have to factor in surcharges every time - so it makes sense to stock up.

- Maximises efficiency & productivity: Reduces the time workers spend waiting for materials to arrive onsite.
- Ensures uniformity in all your projects: Maintained consistency of product.
- Eradicates lead time issues: By having a ready supply of inventory for your work, you can crack on with no holdbacks.

Applications
- Cavity walls external leaf below DPC: Suitable for supporting wall assemblies in below-ground conditions.
- Cavity walls external leaf above DPC: Provides structural strength and thermal protection for the external building envelope.
- Cavity walls inner leaf above DPC: Delivers load-bearing support for internal structures above the damp-proof course.
- Cavity walls inner leaf below DPC: Maintains structural integrity for foundation-level masonry requirements.
-
Separating walls: Facilitates robust partition construction between units for acoustic and thermal performance.
Installation Guidance
- Surface preparation: Ensure foundations are level and free from debris to guarantee a stable base for the first course.
- Mortar application: Use thin-joint or traditional mortar to secure blocks, ensuring a strong bond and minimised cold bridging.
- Jointing: Stagger all vertical joints across subsequent courses to distribute loads effectively and prevent cracking.
-
Alignment: Use appropriate levelling tools during installation to maintain consistent wall plumb and finish.
Compliance & Performance
- Compressive strength (3.6N/mm²): Fully compliant with design requirements for low-rise structural walling.
- Service class: Rated for both internal and external masonry applications above ground level.
- Finishing: Engineered with a texture that provides an excellent key for the application of standard renders and plasters.
