I am looking to minimise the cold bridging from foundations to an internal wall (timber), and have read that aircrete blocks can be used rather than using a propitiatory product (e.g. thermoblock), this is the detail with a 140mm aircrete block supporting timber frame, i presume these will have to be circa 7N.

The note A1 reads

A thermal break is required on the internal wall leaf foundation blockwork to avoid cold bridging, blockwork the depth at least of the thermal insulation should aerated concrete of suitable

compressive strength

 

Is there a better way of doing this detail, and would using a product like thermoblock be significantly better?
