Consequently the client benefits from the building being completed sooner whilst the builder sees a quicker financial return and is able to complete more projects in a given period. Porotherm ensures higher efficiency with better control on time and costs in addition to fewer errors and a cleaner, more pleasant site.
No vertical jointing is required, as the blocks feature unique interlocking edges for exceptional rigidity. When combining this feature with the use of the special bed joint mixture builders are able to realise a significant reduction in overall build time. The height of each Porotherm block is precision ground to an accuracy of +/- 0.5mm, the special Porotherm Bed Joint Mortar is then applied to all horizontal joint faces using a choice of applicators to target a thickness of 1mm. The advanced adhesive technology within the mortar delivers high wall strengths. The Bed Joint Mortar material is supplied free of charge and delivered with the blocks.
Functional rather than aesthetic, the blocks are designed to receive a finish where exposed. Externally this is typically render or a proprietary cladding system, internally plaster, or plasterboard over an initial parge coat, are normally used to provide both a finish and the primary air barrier.
