Lignacite Paint Grade Concrete Block 440 x 100 x 215mm 7.3N

Lignacite Paint Grade are fine-textured concrete blocks that are ideal for walls requiring direct decoration. They are tough, durable and suitable for all types of buildings.

Manufactured to BS EN 771-3, the blocks’ unique mix design (consisting of cement, fine aggregates and recycled graded-wood particles) accounts for their outstanding technical performance.

The 140mm width version (known as Lignacite SP) has a specially formulated mix that optimises the block density to produce a solid block with a unit weight of less than 20kg. There is a slight colour difference between Lignacite SP and 100mm Lignacite Paint Grade blocks.

Specification & Application:

Block Standards:

Lignacite Paint Grade blocks are BSI Kitemarked and certified to BS EN 771-3. They are also Category 1 masonry units manufactured under a BSI certified Quality Management System, which is BS EN 9001 compliant.

Block Appearance:

Lignacite blocks are medium grey in colour with a fine-textured surface. These blocks are not fair-faced and thus colour consistency is not guaranteed.

Block Application:

For use in walls where a direct decoration finish is required e.g., emulsion paint. Walls of 210-215mm thickness are recommended to be constructed using two leaves of 100mm Lignacite blocks laid back-to-back and suitably tied. This construction is known as a collar-jointed wall.

Typical locations include:

·         The inner leaves of external cavity walls

·         Internal walls including fire break walls

·         Separating walls
