Lightweight Concrete Blocks

Ytong Massivblok

These building blocks are incredibly light, yet strong and stable – made of a precast porous concrete. The material is inorganic, therefore resistant to damp, and does not rot. Ytong porous concrete is made out of lime, sand and water. The porous nature of the building blocks make them great fire and heat insulators. By being lightweight, the material is ergonomically safe during installation and uses little energy for transport. The blocks are free of harmful chemicals and contribute to a positive environmental balance.
