Moonshine Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) 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 Quote 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?

dpmiller Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 our whole TF sits on a course of thermal blocks.
