Composite thermal insulation and facing block - has factory keying of parts and integral fixing for on site fabrication

摘要

The block is made up of a facing slab (1) and an insulation pad (2) with suspension profiles (3) and strengthening mesh reinforcement (4). The weatherproof seal to the exterior is obtained by using mortises (7) into which are placed wind break strips during construction and chemically bonding the lateral faces of the blocks. Each block is anchored to the wall behind it by a groove (5) sliding onto the retaining heel of a single horizontal rail. The groove is symmetrical so that the block has no preferential direction of placing.
