 Use


Calcium silicate units are used in all types of domestic, industrial and commercial buildings. The material properties make calcium silicate units suitable for load-bearing and non-load-bearing purposes.

Today calcium silicate is one of the major masonry building materials in Europe. Due to it's excellent technical, architectural and processing properties calcium silicate units are often first choice for architects, engineers and developers. Calcium silicate masonry constructions meet the highest requirements with respect to load bearing capacity, sound insulation, fire resistance and thermal insulation. Applied in facing masonry, calcium silicate units often contribute to modern masonry architecture.
