Materials
There are a number of materials used in the Rapidbuild process which have full downloadable technical details belows.
Bekaert Brickforce
Brickforce masonry reinforcement offers a comprehensive specialist structural crack control steel wire based product for use within the bed joints of masonry construction at strategic areas of design.
Cavalok Cavity Closers
Cavity Closers are the simplest and most effective way to seal cavities around wall openings and provide a rigid template for bricklaying and windows or door installation.
Hanson Thermalite or Concrete Blocks
Forterra’s Thermalite aircrete blocks are a cost-effective solution for wall constructions. Their inherent thermalmass makes U-value targets easier to achieve. Concrete Blocks can also be used in the RapidBuild System.
Poro Keystone Lintels
Keystone have developed two Lintels that are unique to the RapidBuild System. These Lintel options have been specifically designed to allow construction of the inner skin independently of the outer leaf.
Vista Breathable Membrane
EN 13859-1, 2 Breather waterproof roofing underlay manufactured by thermally bonding outer spunbonded polypropylene layers and an inner layer of microporous polypropylene film for pitched supported or unsupported roof construction without sarking and can also be used for vertical wall construction as a wind barrier.
Insulation
Quinn Therm QW – Cavity Wall is a high performance, fibre free board, with a rigid thermoset insulation core and faced on both sides with a low emissivity composite foil facing, for use in partial fill cavity wall applications.
