Frequently asked questions about the Other building blocks category
What are Other building blocks and what are they used for?
Other building blocks are ceramic KERATERM blocks and glass blocks (e.g. KERATERM 250x380x238, 375x250x238, 440x120x238 and VITRA/PEGASUS glass blocks). They are used for load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls, partitions and decorative inserts, chosen based on thermal and acoustic requirements.
What sizes do KERATERM blocks come in within this category?
This category includes KERATERM blocks in sizes 250x380x238, 375x250x238, 440x120x238, 470x175x238, 250x510x238 and 245x440x238; the numbers 25, 12, 17.5, 38, 44, 51 generally indicate block thickness or type.
What is the difference between KERATERM 25 and KERATERM 25 AKU?
Both measure 375x250x238, but the AKU variant is typically optimised for thermal or acoustic performance. Check the product technical sheet for specific insulation or acoustic values before choosing.
Are these blocks suitable for load-bearing walls?
Some KERATERM models, notably larger types like 44 and 51, can be used for load-bearing walls when used according to structural calculations. Confirm the specific model and thickness with a structural engineer.
Which glass blocks are available and what sizes/variants do they come in?
The category includes VITRA glass blocks (various colours and VITRA/W variants) and PEGASUS models (e.g. aquamarine, grey). Sizes and variants depend on the specific product — check the product page for exact dimensions and colour options.
Which block should I choose for a sound-insulated partition?
For sound insulation choose larger, denser blocks such as KERATERM 44 or 51, since greater mass improves sound reduction. Also use appropriate masonry mortars and plaster designed for acoustic performance.
Are KERATERM ceramic blocks compatible with regular masonry mortar?
KERATERM blocks can generally be laid with conventional masonry mortar or thin-bed adhesives for blockwork; check the block manufacturer's recommendations for joint thickness and compatibility. Using the recommended mortar affects wall strength and thermal performance.
Which block is best for an external wall with insulation?
Choose a KERATERM block with good thermal properties (eg. hollow designs) and pair it with external insulation. The 25 AKU models are often optimised for improved thermal performance — check the product data for specifics.
What is the weight of the KERATERM 12 440x120x238 block and how does it affect installation?
Exact weight depends on manufacturer and material; thinner, lighter blocks ease installation and reduce foundation loads. Check the product page for weight to plan lifting equipment and structural loading.
Can VITRA glass blocks be used for bathroom partitions?
Yes, VITRA and PEGASUS glass blocks are suitable for wet rooms and are commonly used in bathrooms and shower partitions due to their moisture resistance and decorative look. Ensure you select a model and installation method suited for vertical, wet-area use.
