Europa Constructions Pty Ltd- Hebel Installer, Petersham, NSW

Hebel blocks are large AAC blocks with a standard face dimension of 600mm x 200mm, laid in much the same way as bricks but using Hebel adhesive to form a monolithic structure. Typically, external walls use a single skin of 200mm thick blocks while internal, non-loadbearing walls use 100mm thick blocks. Hebel's tight manufacturing tolerances deliver beautifully flat, true surfaces that are easily rendered and painted. Walls built with Hebel Blocks are strong and durable, providing the security of solid masonry coupled with exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation properties. With over three times the thermal resistance of double brick, Hebel blocks exceed the Building Code of Australia (BCA) energy efficiency regulations for zones 1, 2, 3 and 5 without the need for additional bulk insulation. Hebel Blocks are non combustible and can achieve a Fire Resistance Level of up to 240/240/240. For detached houses, this is well above the requirements for building right up to the boundary line which also makes Hebel an ideal choice for bushfire prone areas. Compared to traditional double brick construction, Hebel Block walls can be laid much faster, saving building time and costs. Hebel Lintels can be used over windows, doors and garage door openings. Hebel also supplies sill blocks for under windows to complement the overall look of your home.
