The current work is a restoration to a bath stone bay window. The existing bay window is a UPVC frame with flat roof replacing many years ago the original stonework which was demolished. We are excavating around the existing solid brick base to the corbel foundations and along the way picking out the old stonework which was demolished.
The plan is to build aircrete blocks off the existing foundations, using 2.9N/mm2 blocks that have a thermal conductivity of between 0.09 to 0.12W/mK. I am keen on using thin joint mortar as this slightly helps with U-values, but there appears to be a shortage, for example Mannok have an aircrete thin joint system but don't supply the thin joint mortar. Celcon have the block and mortar if you use their blocks. Investigating getting a source from Poland!
