DURISOL WALL FORMS

Building for the future

In order to build energy efficient homes we require highly energy retaining materials. Australian homes need to have good insulating values against heat and cold.

To increase the value of your new home the structure needs to be strong and long lasting. You should also add to that high noise attenuation values for quieter, more peaceful living to complete the project. Construction should be quick and efficient, keeping building costs under control.

Durisol incorporate all the above and more in one easy to use building block. Durisol is a hollow core block, made from 78% recycled materials; such as softwood aggregates (byproducts of the lumber industry). Durisol is 100% recyclable

After stacking, the blocks are filled with steel and concrete for strength.

Sustainable Concepts Australia is working with Durisol Australia in South Australia and the Northern Territory.
