Hi-Light
Forticrete Hi-Light is a revolutionary high-quality,
Masonry product which has been technically designed to provide all
the benefits that have come to be associated with standard
masonry, but is up to 29% lighter than an equivalent solid
masonry unit.
Hi-Light has a cleverly designed cellular structure with a closed
top surface, enabling it to be laid as easily as a standard solid
unit and exhibit none of the fixing weaknesses of a hollow
block.
Available with a face size of 440 x 215mm, to co-ordinate with 450
x 225 modules, Hi-Light offers the options of 100mm or 140mm
thickness, which weigh just 15.0Kg and 19.8Kg per unit respectively
when dry, enabling you to satisfy the recommendations of the HSE
with regard to the manual handling of concrete blocks.
