Thermalite® blocks
Hanson manufactures its Thermalite® products to a quality assured system in accordance with EN ISO 9001 and BS EN 771-4. We also have a UKAS accredited laboratory for testing masonry units to the applicable product standard. Tests include compressive strength, transverse strength, moisture movement and dimensional accuracy.
The laboratory is also accredited for testing thermal conductivity of masonry and insulation materials to BS EN 12664, BS EN 12667 and ISO 8302. The laboratory continues to work closely with authorised approving bodies when conducting field sound transmission tests to BS EN ISO 140-4. It is UKAS accredited for this test method including impact testing of floors to BS EN 140-7.
To assist in the development of thin joint masonry, the Thermalite® Laboratory holds UKAS accreditation for the testing of mortars.
