Foundation Block 300 x 275 x 140mm 7N

Widely used by major housebuilders, Armstart offers an efficient, simple and cost-effective method of block construction below damp proofing course (DPC) saving on labour and mortar.

Manufactured in a range of width / length combinations, these Medium Density Foundation Blocks are a faster, simpler and safer method when compared to constructing cavity foundation walls. No wall ties are required, no cavity filling and no danger of collapsed cavities. Resulting in faster build rates, less mortar and less repetitive manual handling.
