Features and Benefits
- High performance in loadbearing and structural applications.
- Lightweight aggregates reduce block weight and heat loss.
- Available in different densities for varied thermal and acoustic properties.

Delivery and Storage
Blocks are delivered in banded packs and should be stored in planned locations to minimize handling. They should be protected from weather and damage.

Health and Safety
Follow HSE guidelines for handling building blocks. Safe lift heights should not exceed 6 full block courses per day.

Blocklaying Guidelines
- Not suitable for use below DPC and ground level.
- Blocks should be laid on a full bed of mortar with fully filled joints.
- Movement joints should be provided at specified intervals to accommodate dimensional changes.

Finished Work
Protect blockwork from weather and ensure proper drying. Movement joints should be considered at specific locations.

Sustainability
The thermal mass of ReadyBlock® can reduce the need for air-conditioning and heating, contributing to energy efficiency.

FAQs
- U Value is determined by the wall construction, not individual blocks.
- Aggregate blockwork has a long life expectancy if protected from aggressive conditions.
- 1100 Solid Lightweight Standard Finish ReadyBlock® is not recommended for party walls due to insufficient mass for sound insulation.

Blocks are normally delivered to site in banded packs oncrane-offload road vehicles. Where requested packs can be delivered shrink-wrapped and/or palletised to aid subsequent site movement activities. All packaging should be disposed of carefully in accordance with local environmental requirements.If possible, delivered blocks should be stacked in plannedlocations on the site. This reduces the double-handling of the blocks.Packs should be stacked carefully onto a prepared, clean,firm area to minimise soiling and damage. They should also be protected from inclement weather and passing vehicles....
