Hi-Light

Hi-light concrete blocks

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.
