Technical purpose This Environmental Product Declaration is based on production site in Widnes.
AGLITE ULTIMA is a low-density, lightweight load-bearing concrete masonry unit (CMU) manufactured across few Plasmor production sites (Boughton / Great Heck / Knottingley / Sabey Kirby / Widnes) using a proprietary blend of Plasmor's own man-made expanded clay aggregate combined with other high-quality lightweight aggregates. The product is available in multiple compressive strength classes (4.2N/mm², 7.3N/mm², and 10.4N/mm²) and in two thicknesses (100mm and 140mm).
The blocks are solid, plain-ended, open-textured, and grey in colour. The open texture is designed to directly accept plaster or render.
AGLITE ULTIMA - 100mm Aglite Ultima 4.2N/mm2
Lightweight & Low Density - Ultra-lightweight construction with a dry density of 1,050 kg/m³
High Thermal Efficiency- Low thermal conductivity (λ = 0.31 W/m·K) supports compliance with Building Regulations Part L
Good Sound Insulation - complies with Robust Details E-WM-12, E-WM-17, E-WM-34, and E-FC-4, supporting compliance with Building Regulations Part E.
Fire Resistant - offers inherent non-combustibility and fire resistance performance in accordance with applicable standards.
Load Bearing - compressive strength classes, suitable for load-bearing wall applications across residential and commercial construction.
Accepts Plaster & Paint Without Bonding Coat - The open-textured surface finish directly receives plaster, render, and paint, eliminating the need for additional bonding treatments and reducing material use.
Low Shrinkage - The aggregate composition minimises drying shrinkage, reducing the risk of cracking and contributing to the long-term durability and integrity of the masonry structure.
Authority - Manufactured under BSI Quality Assurance standards with full CE marking, demonstrating conformance with EN 771-3 and all prevailing UK Building Regulations.
Easily Cut & Chased - The block can be cut and chased on site without specialist equipment.
Excellent Fixability - – Accepts standard masonry fixings and fasteners reliably, supporting a wide range of internal and external finish systems.
