Hello all.

 

I'm trying to identify the type of aerated block in the photo. Sorry about the quality but it is all I have to work with. Apparently it was taken during the original construction.

 

My best guess so far is that it is a Tarmac DUROX Supa block. Block size is 600 long x 215 high x 100mm thick. The scratch pattern is horizontal. House built 2007 - 2008 South side of Glasgow. Brick outer leaf, aerated concrete block on the inner.

Durox, longer than normal blocks possibly Durox Suoerblock - basically aerated concrete blocks 

Could be Ytong Aircrete standards - 3.6N and they are very similar and the same dimensions. 

Thanks Tony and Peter for your help, much appreciated.

 

I was asking as I want to fix a wind post to the aerated block type in the photo with undercut resin anchors to replace an internal racking wall that is coming down.

 

For all. A good few blocks, Thermalite etc have different scratch markings / scratch pattern on them so you can identify the unit strength. H + H Celcon are painted on the end but for a wall that is up already and you only have a photo to work with.. 

 

Was struggling to match these ones so was having to base the anchor design on 2.9 N/mm^2 rather than on a higher value.
