Building with Porotherm clay blocks makes it possible to plan, build and live according to environmental and long-term economic principles.
Porotherm is an efficient alternative to other building materials such as timber, concrete or light steel frames and is suitable for a variety of construction applications such as Inner leaves and rendered outer leaves of cavity walls, Monolithic (single leaf) external walls, Infill panels within framed structures and Load bearing and non load bearing partition walls.
Overall, the selection of a wall material will only have a minor influence on the overall building cost; however it is integral to the quality of your finished project. With Porotherm blocks, you are choosing a construction system that is not only economical in every respect - but also offers maximum quality and value retention.
Lay the first course on a traditional sand-cement mortar bed.
Ensure the first blocks are level, horizontal in both directions and ensuring there are no lips between the adjacent blocks. This is the most crucial stage of the process, as it determines the accurate alignment of each of the subsequent build storeys, and the speed and accuracy of the construction as a whole.
Mix ZeroPlus according to guideline quantities – don’t mix more than you need
Apply ZeroPlus (mixed close to the build) to blocks with a roller
Repeat until a precision wall is complete – up to four times faster than traditional methods
