Cost-effective, Fast, Green





It’s our aim to make eco friendly technology the most cost-effective choice for construction. That’s why we’re working on bringing our affordable eco building materials into mainstream construction.
From manufacture, to construction, to application and performance – every aspect of what we do is unpinned by a commitment to eco friendly technology. See how the Durisol product range stands up to the requirements of building control when you explore our performance results below. Alternatively, take a look at our green construction methods.
Building with Durisol means that you can create lintels during construction.

'Durisol After 4 Hours of Fire Testing'
Even under the most rigorous testing for fire resistance, Durisol just won’t burn.
See how Durisol exceeded the minimum requirements of building control in a recent fire test.

With acoustic values as low as 63dB, Durisol is ideal for reducing reverberation and improving sound insulation and absorption. In fact, Durisol boasts acoustic performance so advanced, the inspectors had to conduct a test twice to believe it.

The vertical load capacity of a wall constructed with Durisol may be derived on the assumptions that design is based on:
On builds where high point loads will be transmitted via a load carrying beam bearing onto the Durisol units, we recommend localised reinforcement within the cores and within the coursing. However, if wall depth is limited by the presence of integral lintels immediately beneath the point load, the shear capacity of the integral lintel will be the limiting factor - especially where the lintel depth is 250mm (i.e. half upturned unit). In every case, vertical load capacity and the capability of the wall to sustain high point loads should be determined by design calculations undertaken by a structural engineer.
