Newlite (Medium Dense)

MULTI-PURPOSE MEDIUM DENSITY MASONRY BLOCKS

Forticrete Newlite concrete blocks are manufactured in accordance with BS EN 771-3:2003. Newlite blocks are manufactured in a finish suitable for plastering but can be supplied with a texture suitable for painting on request.

Newlite blocks are multi-purpose building blocks available in an open texture, suitable for plaster or render, or with a tighter texture, suitable for painting. They are suitable for use in beam and block flooring and below dpc, providing that they are solid and have a minimum compressive strength of 7.3N/mm².

They provide excellent sound insulation, making them the ideal solution for party walls, and have excellent thermal characteristics, keeping cavity insulation requirements to a minimum while allowing the use of standard plastering techniques and light/medium fixings. Further details on the use of Newlite in order to meet the requirements of Part L can be found in the ' Meeting the Needs' document.
