Superlite Facing and Paint Grade
These lightweight, low-to-medium density blocks are designed for internal applications where low weight is critical, particularly in the larger sizes. Superlite Facing blocks are specifically designed for aesthetic applications and can be left fair faced. Ideal for receiving a painted finish, Superlite Paint Grade blocks have a smooth, consistent texture.
Superlite Facing and Paint Grade blocks are suitable for applications such as:
• Factory units
• Workshops
• Sports centre
• Offices

* Block weights are calculated using specified dry density, with a moisture content of 3% by weight added to provide the equilibrium value.
** Weight of erected wall (including mortar). Add 11 kg/m² per side for a 2-coat lightweight plaster finish (24 kg/m² for dense plaster).
- The colour of facing products can vary from works to works so sample viewing is highly recommended. It is essential that agreement between all parties is confirmed if the products are to be left untreated.
- Whilst Paint Grade products have a consistency of texture, colour consistency cannot be guaranteed.
