MIDI 'Standard' or 'Paint-grade'
Description:
MIDI ‘Standard’ texture finish is for general background applications whereas 'Paint-grade' finish is available for internal paint-grade applications. It offers the same characteristics of a 140mm solid dense concrete blocks but at only 66% of the weight it gives you a lighter block with easier manual handling.
Our MIDI blocks are 140mm in width but are available with a shorter length of 290mm instead of the standard 440mm. This results in a significant reduction of handling weight of up to 33% a conventional 140mm solid dense block. Therefore, the MIDI offers you a 140mm solid dense concrete block with weights well below the recommended limit of 20kg for repetitive manual handling.
In common with all Dense Concrete blocks, MIDI blocks are a highly resilient and tough load-bearing block available in strengths of 7.3 N/mm² or greater, suitable for use above and below damp-proof course (DPC).
MIDI blocks are manufactured to BS EN 771-3 and are ISO 9001 Quality Assured, ISO 14001 Environmentally Certified and hold BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing certification.
Applications:
- Inner and Outer leaves of cavity walls over 3 storeys.
- Internal partition walls.
- Walls below damp-proof course (DPC).
- Acoustic separating walls to Part E of the Building Regulations and Robust Details.
- ‘Standard’ texture finish provides an excellent surface for mortars, renders and plasters.
- ‘Paint-grade’ close-textured finish available for internal decorative, paint-grade applications.
Key Advantages:
- Same characteristics of a 140mm solid dense concrete block but 66% of the weight.
- Easier manual handling.
- Robust.
- Accepts most standard fixings.
- 100% recyclable, inert and non-hazardous at the end of use
