Masonry Block Light Weight
Thermo Plus Blocks are Concrete Sandwich Thermal blocks. These Blocks have a thermal

core made of Polystyrene with 25kg/m3 density. Normal weight concrete is at 2150Kg /m3

density. These blocks are perfect for thermal insulation and is mandatory for external walls.

The blocks are available with a face dimension of 400 x 200 mm (L x H) and thickness of 200,

250 and 300mm. The common thickness for the thermal polystyrene is 60mm for all three
sizes and 250mm block has an alternative with 110mm polystyrene. Similarly, the 300mm
blocks has 160mm polystyrene as an alternative. Our Thermal blocks are the approved for

ISTIDAMA, Abu Dhabi.

How to Specify Thermo Block
The Thermo Blocks are manufactured in auto control block machines and are cast
homogeneously with moulded high-density polystyrene inserted in the mould and wet
concrete is poured around the insert. The blocks are then compacted and cured to achieve 7.5

n/mm2 strength at 28 days. The blocks should have technical approval certi cate from Dubai
Kerb Stone  Municipality.

products/kerb-stone/) Method statement for construction of Masonry wall with Thermo Block

Place the Thermo Block in the rst course and align them. Allow 10 mm gap for vertical

mortar joints. All horizontal and vertical mortar joints should be 10 mm minimum. To achieve
the continuity of insulation, provide thermal strips in the mortar joints. AT every third course,

provide 4 mm Ø, 150 mm wide ladder mesh. Provide column I masonry wall ties 2.5mm x

20mm x 150mm at every third course.

The Technology

The thermal block was introduced by EMCON in 1992. It is unique because of it’s non-

conventional manufacturing process. The moulded pro led polystyrene is rst inserted by a

special device into the mould and then concrete is lled in. This is followed by compaction and

vibration of concrete by an auto control system in the Block machine. The resulting composite

thermal block is homogeneously bounded and is cured normally. After curing the THERMO-

PLUS block is ready for handling like any other normal block.

The EMCON THERMO-PLUS block is based on the ISO-PLUS technology from Europe. They

are the innovators of the insulated block for more than half a century in Europe. It was

invented to help keep the cold ‘out of the buildings during extreme winters.

Product Characteristics and Advantages

1. Excellent insulation properties since there is no thermal bridge between the innerand outer

walls.

2. Integrated Polystyrene insert creates e cient thermal barrier.

3. Compressive strength 7.5N/mm 2

4. U Value of 0.474 w/m 2 K for 200mm block with 60mm polystyrene

5. Polystyrene Density of 25 kg/m 3

6. Polystyrene is CFC free.

7. No special mortars required.

8. Polystyrene is of re retardant grade FF as per DIN 53438.

9. Faster construction of walls and lower labour costs.

10. THERMO-PLUS cuts electricity costs by more than 50%

11. Less initial Air-Conditioning installation cost.

12. THERMO-PLUS gives design exibility to Architects and Designers especially where large
air spaces are to be cooled like shopping malls, atriums, community halls, etc.

13. THERMO-PLUS blocks have excellent acoustical properties. The sandwiched

polystyrene in the masonry wall improves the sound absorption.

14. The insulated thermal mass in the block works with the building cooling/heating system

for greater modulation of inside temperature.

15. Expanded Polystyrene also acts as excellent vapour and moisture barrier.
