THE TECHNOLOGY
Cross section of high density Werkhof block
This is what's inside Werkhof. The solid integral 'wall wafers' are very high density solid concrete with large aggregate and cement very well homogenized (few air bubbles). Hammer or pound it with a sledgehammer and it will not dent like AAC. Hard substrate for paint and finish also means more durable paint.
This high density also makes the block non-absorbent and waterproof, yet the outer walls are thin enough for a 4" diamond cutting disc to cut through into the open slots for easy electrical and plumbing work. The top of the block is closed in order to reduce consumption of adhesive and keep slots unfilled, while the bottom of the slots are open with a rebar groove so that the adhesive can 'key' into the slots for stronger horizontal joints and better leak resistance.
Since the open slots are not filled with mortar, it forms an air gap. There is less thermal bridge for heat conduction and better convection for dissipation of heat before it reaches the inside face of the wall.
The open slots in Werkhof Blocks thus serve 4 purposes:
- Weight reduction of the block or wall.
- Easy cutting of grooves for quick piping and MEPF embedment.
- Reduction of heat conduction and better dissipation just like a heat sink.
- Better sound insulation.
