Porotherm Products

Wienerberger offers two innovative Porotherm systems to revolutionise your construction project

Build smarter with cavity walls featuring our versatile PLS 100, 140, and 190 blocks, perfect for inner and outer leaves, load-bearing walls, and non-load bearing partitions. Alternatively, remove the cavity with our streamlined monolithic range for a simpler, faster build.

Whatever construction style you choose, Porotherm delivers superior thermal insulation, exceptional soundproofing, enhanced fire safety, and remarkable sustainability – all wrapped in a lightweight, easy-to-install package. Discover the endless possibilities of clay construction with Porotherm.
