The natural choice in futureproof building systems

www.durisol.net

From the outset, the Durisol system was

developed to give designers, specifiers and

contractors real flexibility with outstanding all

round performance. The system offers a range

of unique benefits and meets all current and

planned regulations and recommendations for

sustainable building construction.

Based upon interlocking modular units (with or without integral

insulation) Durisol blocks are dry stacked - without the need for

a bed of mortar. The blocks are then in-

filled with concrete to form a monolithic

structural walling system. The external

and internal faces are then completed

with a finish applied directly to the

Durisol wall surface.

Innovative design, with a proven track record

Achieving the highest standards

Durisol contributes to many of the criteria for achieving Code

for Sustainable Homes and BREEAM ratings economically and

efficiently. Durisol enables easy compliance with Building

regulations to achieving the high standards of Passivhaus.

Durisol are committed to sustainability. As a result, we have

a very low embodied energy manufacturing process that

includes natural curing with no requirement for ovens or

kilns, and harvested rain water for the manufacturing process.

Together with outstanding product performance, you can be

sure that Durisol is the sound choice for any contemporary build.

High performance, recycled timber, dry stack walling system

BASEMENT CONSTRUCTION

First manufactured in 1947 in Austria, Durisol has been used

for thousands of builds internationally, including large scale

projects such as hotels to 29 storeys (including 3 levels of

basement).

With an increasing number of manufacturing facilities

throughout the world, Durisol is becoming the ‘go-to’ product

for cost effective sustainable construction. Manufactured in

the UK with full accreditation, Durisol provides full support for

all sectors of the construction industry.

Durisol structures include:

n Schools

n Studentaccommodation

n Healthcarefacilities

n Residential

n Housingassociations

n Office&Commercial

The Durisol system is also highly suited to use above or

below ground in foundations, Swimming Pools, Retaining

Walls, Basements and also Noise Barriers.

Industry support & accreditationEndorsed by industry bodies and commercial partners, the

Durisol system is fully supported throughout the construction

sector:

n BREGreenGuideA,includingconcreteinfill

n WarrantiesincludeNHBC/Premier/GlobalHome Warranties/BuildZone/LABC

n BuildingControlApproved

n DurisolRegisteredInstallersviaTrainingAcademy

n PartnersincludeKnauf,Kingspan,CelotexandParex

Durisol offers significant savings when performance is

compared like for like. In addition, faster speed of build in

all weathers provides the opportunity to complete external

envelope quickly, meaning less time on site, saving on

scaffolding, accommodation units, prelim costs and resulting in

a shorter build program.

Interserve - oneoftheworld’sforemostsupportservicesandconstructioncompanies.

Durisol was able to assist Interserve in achieving a build to

Passivhaus standards by the use of Celotex PIR insulation

incorporated into the 365mm wide unit which not only reduced

its U value to 0.15 but ensured the insulation remained in the

correct position throughout the construction process. This will

save the tenant, Interserve, over £20,000 pa on their heating

cost and as well as a CO2 emission reduction of 92 tonnes

compared to their current offices of a similar size.

Durisol - the winning specification

n Designed as ‘Structural Masonry’ or Reinforced Concrete

n Dry stacked interlocking units 500 long x 250mm high

n Used above and below ground, basements, retaining walls

n High slump, small aggregate concrete required for infill

n Window and door structural openings formed using Durisol on site

n Reduced thickness of wall for excellent U values

n Complete external waterproof envelopes quickly

n Minimal reinforcement needed

n The option to reduce or remove steel frame

n Technical & Practical Support (Structural Engineering)

n Easy to modify on site

n Easy to fix external finishes – Brick, Brick Slip, Stone, Render, Cladding or Timber

n CPD presentation available

Durisol - real examples - real benefits

Simplicity of build - forBrauntonCaenSchool

The extension to Braunton Caen School required a quick single

storey construction with good U values and acoustics.

After consultation with the structural engineer, the

reinforcement was removed, other than that required to form

lintels. Karen Crutchfield, Head Teacher at Braunton was highly

impressed by the acoustic quality of the finished building...
