- Narrow footprint compared to
masonry cavity wall construction
- only 82.5mm.
- Brings the benefits of masonry
and drywall construction
together with savings on labour
and greater security.
- Can compensate for minor
inaccuracies in mortar joints
without the need for wet trades
or parge coats.
- Tested with lightweight blockwork to provide “worst case
scenario” data, performance may
improve with dense blocks or
solid brick construction.

- Suitable for non-loadbearing
separating wall applications, for
new build or to upgrade existing
masonry walls with confidence.
- Offers a very effective remedial
solution where sound flanking
down cavity walls has resulted in
failure on site.
- Can assist with meeting external
walls thermal requirements
by allowing the use of lighter
blockwork and offering an added
U-Value performance.
