Insulite is a range of lightweight (density 1400 kg's / m3) load bearing building blocks manufactured in the main from re claimed and re cycled raw materials conforming to BS 3797. The products themselves are manufactured to BS 6073: Part 1.
The blocks are cast in steel moulds onto steel pallets and compacted by vibration, following which they are placed in specially designed chambers where the curing process of the green concrete is accelerated by means of humidity.

The compaction process of the concrete is vital to the quality of the finished product.
At Besblock we employ Columbia presses. These are internationally acclaimed as the very finest in their field and their unicontrolled vibration system ensures even density and compaction within the mould, giving a consistent test quality on every block.

All thickness up to and including 150mm thick weigh less than 20kg's and as such comply with the recommendations of HSE for single man repetative lifting. Blocks in excess of 150mm thick, (190mm, 200mm, 215mm) are available in hollow formats and these also comply with the recommended 20kg single-handed repetitive lifting requirement. Solid blocks of these sizes however exceed 20kg's and as such will require special handling precautions
