CalvinHobbes Posted May 25, 2023 Posted May 25, 2023 Hello, the architect has specified mannock 215mm high 7.5N blocks for a course at the base. Does anyone know another equivalent? The local builders merchants off 5n or 7n which isn't 7.5n.
Temp Posted May 25, 2023 Posted May 25, 2023 I suspect 7N will be fine as I doubt architects design things to be that marginal. We used mostly 7N blocks and we have B&B first floor. Just had to use 14N under some steel beams. 1
Temp Posted May 25, 2023 Posted May 25, 2023 Travis Perkins have 7.3N.. https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/100mm-blocks/solid-dense-7-3n-concrete-block-grey-100mm/p/700064 1
saveasteading Posted May 25, 2023 Posted May 25, 2023 I wonder what the mortar strength is. It is so variable that 0.5 variation in blocks should not matter...but you could ask. 1
dpmiller Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 7N is actually 7.5... https://www.mannokbuild.com/aircrete-thermal-blocks/ 1
