Lode Keraterm 17.5 Thermal Insulation Block 175x470x238mm

Building block for masonry, Keraterm 17.5 suitable for partition wall construction or as an economical option for external wall construction with at least 10 cm thick thermal insulation (mineral wool or polystyrene). 17.5 cm thick blocks are recommended as load-bearing wall construction material for buildings with no heavy loads and with wooden or monolithic reinforced concrete slabs.

Wall thickness = 17.5 cm; Compressive strength = 12.5 N/mm²; Thermal conductivity = 0.19 W/mK; Sound insulation = 45 dB; Water absorption ? 25%; Frost resistance cycles = 25; Bulk density = 0.75 g/cm³.

Keraterm block durability Compressive strength of 12 Mpa allows the material to be used in the construction of multi-storey residential buildings. Sound insulation. The block structure, similar to beehives, effectively absorbs sound propagation. Therefore, KERATERM blocks are popular not only in residential buildings but also in the construction of public buildings (for example, if a building is planned to have both a bowling alley and a cinema).

Thermal conductivity - KERATERM houses retain heat. Thanks to the material structure, temperature fluctuations in the rooms are minimal. This allows for energy savings and reduced operating costs. Fire resistance - KERATERM blocks, like other ceramic products, are fire-resistant and can withstand very high temperatures without visible deformation. Air permeability - Walls made of KERATERM blocks breathe and remain dry. The capillarity of ceramics ensures the transport of moisture from the inside to the outside of the room in the direction of heat and moisture gradient. Naturalness - KERATERM is 100% natural material. It is produced using Latvian clay and only natural additives (water, sawdust). Economy - Vertical jointing allows for savings on mortar, as it does not need to be filled in vertical joints.
