Hebel Block Construction

The Hebel block construction system is very simple yet allows complete design flexibility for basic or complex designs and architectural features.

Typically block thicknesses are 200mm for external walls, 150mm for internal load-bearing walls and 100mm for internal non load-bearing walls.

Blocks are glued together to form solid masonry structural walls with excellent thermal and acoustic properties. The blocks are available in a full range of thicknesses from 100mm to 300mm, and are 550mm long by 200mm high. Vertical reinforcing rods are installed into drilled holes in the blocks at nominal 1.0 metre centres.

Hebel block construction can be complemented with Hebel Floor Panels, stair treads, and wall panels.

Hand tools are available for use with the Hebel Block including notched trowels, drill bits, and saws.

Fasteners especially designed for use in Hebel Block are available from Hilti, Tox and Ramset. These are typically of the expansion type.

Decorative accent features on building facades are also easily produced in Hebel from blocks. They can range from Quoins on the corners of a house to Midfloor bands, to banding around windows. These blocks are un-reinforced and can therefore be shaped as desired without interference from reinforcing.

Sculpture blocks are also available and have a wide range of uses, from small statures to large water features, you are only restricted by your imagination.

Benefits

  • Solid wall construction gives a quality and feel to a building that is normally associated only with homes at the top end of the market
  • Independent cost comparisons show that Hebel block is very cost efficient and affordable, compared with other solid masonry systems.
  • Block construction has all the inherent thermal, acoustic and fire resistant benefits of AAC. All walls 150mm thick or more have a 4-hour fire rating, the highest rating possible.
  • Hebel block does not rot or decay over time, does not support the growth of fungus or mould, and does not harbour rodents or insects.

Hebel Stair Treads

Stair treads are available to complement the Hebel Block and Structural floor panels.

They come in two widths 1.0 metres and 1.2 metres, they are 300mm wide, 175mm high.

Benefits

  • Fast installation time.
  • Quiet stairs to compliment your floor
  • Ideal substrate for carpet or tiles
