ACICO Blocks General

ACICO blocks are suitable for load bearing and non-load bearing walls. ACICO blocks are delivered ready for use and packed in easily transportable wooden pallets. The pallet should be unloaded at the site by a construction-site crane, forklift truck or other suitable hoisting equipment. Never dump them from the truck.
ACICO blocks are produced to extremely narrow dimensional tolerances of ± 1mm. They are therefore laid by the thin-bed mortar (glue) method. The joint is 1-2 mm thick. ACICO blocks for infill masonry are the logical advancement in development of the tried and proven, conventional masonry technique. Laying by the thin-bed mortar method results in a particularly high quality wall-structure with uniform thermal insulation, without heat bridges in the joints and especially with plane wall surfaces. A further considerable advantage is the fast completion of buildings (structure) with short working times.
ACICO blocks with tongue and groove are recommended for rational straight-course laying, applying thin-bed mortar (glue) to the horizontal course joint and without mortar in vertical one.
