Overview

Toplite is a versatile aircrete material which is able to provide solutions below ground in foundation walls, in suspended beam and block floors and all types of internal and external walling situations.

Toplite Standard blocks combine low unit weight with high thermal insulation and acoustic performance, in strengths from 2.9 to 7.3N/mm2. Toplite can be used below ground in foundation walls, in suspended beam and block floors and in all types of internal and external walls. Its use provides many benefits for specifiers and contractors, making it the natural choice where blockwork is specified.
