The system comprises Porotherm blocks in a range of different sizes along with Associated Components including fixings, wall ties, tools, lintels, and DPC. Although each individual Porotherm component retains its own characteristic; the aim being that each element compliments the system leading to an acceleration of the building process. Porotherm allows builders and contractors the confidence to work with materials that have proven pedigree whilst also giving them the flexibility to work to the individual needs of the client.
