Star Performer 100mm – Cellular Concrete Block
The Star Performer Cellular Concrete Block is a cellular dense aggregate block designed with three internal cavities to deliver excellent thermal efficiency and strength. Unlike traditional solid dense blocks, the three-cavity design reduces weight without compromising load-bearing capability, offering compressive strengths of 7.3 N/mm². This concrete block achieves a thermal performance around 45% better than solid dense blocks, making it a ideal choice for both energy efficiency and structural reliability.
These blocks are easier to handle and quicker to lay, improving on site productivity. Suitable for a wide range of applications including inner leaf walls, party walls, and below DPC, the Star Performer Cellular Block provides a one block solution for modern construction needs.
