Product catalog summary
Insulation Materials and Specifications
This section details the specifications for insulation materials such as expanded polystyrene, extruded polystyrene, and polyurethane/PIR. These materials are assessed based on their thermal conductivity and the thickness needed to achieve specific U-values for suspended block and beam floors, following BS EN ISO 6946 standards with sealed joints between insulation batts.

Environmental Considerations
The document emphasizes the company's sustainability efforts, noting that a large portion of raw materials for lightweight concrete blocks is recycled. Insulite Lightweight Blocks contain 90-95% recycled materials, mainly from furnace bottom ash. Dense concrete blocks have 20-25% recycled content, while Airtec aerated concrete products use up to 90% recycled materials and are produced with low-energy processes.

Product Range and Standards
The company offers various block types, including Airtec XL, Airtec Standard, and Insulite, each with different compressive strengths and densities. All products comply with the ISO 14001 Environmental Management system, ensuring they meet international environmental standards.
