Morning all,
Need some help please. I'm researching blocks to buy for my extension.
100mm + 100mm full-fill + 100mm
What's the main purpose for concrete blocks and for aerated blocks? IE does one suit inner/outer skins better?
I'm building off of a building notice so no specs from a SE - will my BCO specific what N rating they will want?
It's a bungalow with a dormer conversion, the inner skin will be supporting a 6 meter steel too.
Block and beam floor - just use concrete blocks?
Also, I'm considering doing both skins in block work and brick slip-ing afterwards (potentially I may external-insulate the existing building of which i could brick slip over, thus all the exterior would match then, rather than the extension brickwork not matching well)
It's worth noting I want the best thermal values for the house too, if that helps select a different block?
Thanks in advance
Deano
