LAYLite super lightweight concrete blocks – Part L compliant
LAYLite is the obvious solution for the designer who requires load-bearing compressive strength, combined with minimal thermal conductivity.
For the builder/quantity surveyor who needs to tick all the boxes while meeting the fiscal constraints of their project, LAYLite are the perfect solution. The same applies to the contractor who requires a lightweight, easy-to-handle solution that will allow them to lay blocks quicker and complete projects earlier. Our LAYLite concrete blocks are Part L compliant and are low-carbon as standard - up to a 50% carbon reduction compared with using OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement).

Super lightweight concrete blocks
Ideal for the contractor who requires a lightweight, easy-to-handle block that will allow them to lay more blocks in a day.
Part L compliant - enhanced thermal insulation
Helps reduce heating and cooling costs and improves the building's energy efficiency
Low carbon as standard
Up to a 50% carbon reduction compared with using OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement)
Sustainable aggregates
LAYLite solid ultra lightweight blocks are produced using responsibly sourced and sustainable high-quality sands and aggregates.
British standards
Manufactured and tested in accordance with BS EN 771-3: 2011; Specification for Masonry Units: Aggregate Concrete Masonry Units
A1 fire rated
These blocks have a class A1 rating, indicating that they are incombustible and do not contribute to fire.
Reduced weight means more blocks laid in a day
Weighing in at just 9.8 kgs for the 100mm thickness and 14 kgs for the 140 mm version, their reduced weight means LAYLite are easy to handle and transport, which leads to lower labour costs and improved productivity. Your installers will notice the difference and appreciate the benefits of these lightweight blocks. Good fixing strengths for frames, skirting and wall units are also a benefit.
Lay-Lite - Part L compliant
Our new and improved LAYLite are now Part L Compliant and have excellent thermal conductivity values at 0.28 W/mK10. Providing superior thermal insulation compared to other types of aggregate blocks, Lay-Lite helps reduce heating and cooling costs and improves the building’s energy efficiency.
Environmentally, LAYLite blocks tick all the boxes, and its core ingredient complies with BS EN – 13055-1. The use of pumice aggregates in the finished block ensures that the efficiency of raw material use is maximised to the full, making Lay-Lite a greatly enhanced sustainable solution. It is inert, lightweight, non-combustible, rot-proof, and structurally strong.
Lay-Lite - low carbon concrete carbon blocks
Our LAYLite concrete blocks are low carbon as standard – up to an 50% carbon reduction compared with using OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) with higher grade environmental options also available.
Viable alternative to aircrete
LAYLite is a viable alternative to aircrete blocks (subject to construction) with the added advantage of offering a broader compressive strength range.
Uses
LAYLite are suitable for cavity walls, boundary/party walls (subject to testing), load-bearing walls, partition walls, panel walls and external walls. Suitable for use in foundations and below DPC (7.3N and above).
