Durisol Structural Walling Blocks

Durisol lends itself to below and above ground level building construction.

The systems provides a cost effective solution to many commercial, residential, industrial and agricultural building designs. With the added environmental bonus that the durisol block formers are made from recycled wood.

Builders choose Durisol because of the ease with which walls can be constructed. The Durisol material is lightweight (no block exceeds 15kg), and is easily cut, nailed and screwed with simple carpentry tools. The unique free-draining Durisol material allows the use of high-slump concrete in the field that makes for easier and faster concrete pouring that ensures a solid wall without any compromise in strength. Ideally, concrete with a slump between 180mm & 220mm is recommended for use in conjunction with Durisol.

Typical Cross Section

The Durisol material is considerably stronger than other ICF materials. Even with high-slump concrete, Durisol Wall Forms never blow-out during concrete pouring (when following requirements in our technical guide). Additional bracing is only required when the Wall Form units have been cut or altered on site. Interior and exterior finishes are applied directly to the Durisol material, eliminating subsequent steps in the construction process. Drywall can be attached anywhere on the Wall Form surface, while the open textured nature of the hardened Durisol makes it an ideal substrate for plasters and stucco.
