Thermalite / aircrete
Thermalite / aircrete
The planning notes from the architect recommend Thermalite Turbo and Shield lightweight blocks for the cavity walls. I've not used them before; they look great from an insulation and handling point of view, but a builder friend has said that he's had problems with them cracking in the past. He recommends using the standard blocks instead. Has anyone used these 'aircrete' or similar blocks and had any problems with them? Was my mate just unlucky or are they bad in some applications?
