This unit achieves higher r values than standard cmu insulation. R value cavity na and r value continuous r 5. It saves materials and labour improves energy efficiency and durability. 203 mm nominal thickness must have continuous r 5 minimum insulation in addition to the integral insulation to comply i e the r value of the integral insulation.

This means that to comply a masonry wall 8 in. By superlite block an oldcastle company. Depending on the density of the blocks an 8 inch thick block wall without any other type of insulation has a thermal resistance value between r 1 9 and r 2 5. The assembly provides a wall system capable of achieving higher thermal r values than conventional masonry with no effect on the structural integrity of masonry construction.

Integral insulation refers to insulation placed between two layers of thermal mass. Specially designed concrete masonry unit and individually molded insulation insert. With integral insulation and no framing are. Hi r insulated block hi r is a specially designed cmu with smaller webs to reduce thermal bridging and contains individually molded insulation inserts.

This glazing compound is cured and heat treated in gas fired tunnel kilns thus becoming an integral part of the unit. Examples include insulation placed in concrete masonry cores and continuous insulation in a masonry cavity wall note that an insulated masonry cavity wall can also be considered as exterior insulation if the thermal mass effect of the veneer is disregarded.
