Promonta Hydro Block - is manufactured with silicone included in the mixture to make the block very water-resistant. It is generally used to areas that are particularly at risk from water or damp within the building.
- The Hydro block is strongly recommended for the bottom course to prevent walls been affected as the result of a leak or flood. From experience over the years it is in fact the case that if Hydro block is used to the bottom course and if there is a mini flood on the floor, the block is not affected at all.
- If there is risk of water during construction, lying on the floor slab for example, then further protection can be offered to the walls by building all the bottom course in the blue Hydro block totally protecting the walls which is recommended. Finally, if some walls had to be built where they were a little exposed for a long period of time, then these can be totally built out of the Hydro block and even a shower of rain, for example, on the face of the wall occurring quite a few times will not damage the blocks at all. This does apply to the built wall, the process of finishing and facing up the wall would not be carried out until the building was dry and completely enclosed.
- Gypsum walls can be covered easily with tiles, using suitable adhesive for gypsum materials.
