Hemelite Paint Quality blocks have a close texture surface ideally suited for walls that are to receive direct decoration. They can be used in commercial, industrial, leisure and school buildings. They are robust and durable, while offering high levels of fire resistance, sound insulation, and air tightness.
Colour and texture vary according to which factory produces them, so please ask to inspect samples.
Recycled content
The majority of our manufacturing Plants use a high proportion^ of recycled/ secondary materials in the production of Hemelite which combined with good Green Guide Ratings make Hemelite a very sustainable product.
