As building regulations are becoming more stringent, Thermal Block is being used more frequently.<br />
It is likely to be found in post 1960’s buildings making up the inner skin of the walls. The block's thermal<br />
and acoustic properties derive from the mix of (power station) ash, sand and cement. Due to its "crumbly" nature,<br />
fixings have been developed specifically for Thermal Block and are designed to grip the material much more efficiently than<br />
standard wall plugs. Thermal Block can easily be drilled into using a HSS drill bit, making it easy to distinguish from solid concrete block<br />
("breezeblock") which requires a masonry drill bit.<br />
A wide range for a variety of uses…<br />
The problem:<br />
"how do I know<br />
I have Thermal Block<br />
& what fixing should I use"<br />
The Solution:<br />
1.Drill a pilot hole with<br />
HSS bit provided<br />
Tip: if it doesn't penetrate the<br />
wall it's concrete or brick &<br />
not Thermal Block<br />
2.Insert Plasplugs<br />
Thermal Block fixing using<br />
Power-Driver<br />
unique & innovative fixings<br />
