2 TECHNICAL INFORMATION Block Millimetres Smooth Textured technical informati STANDARDS + PERFORMANCE Product Type Fair-faced class D sound absorbing block Manufactured to BS EN 771-3: 2011 (category D2) table 1 (length: +1 / -3mm, width: +1 / -3mm, height: + or - 2mm) ISO 354: 2011 State-of-the-art factory ctrolled vapour curing significantly reduces this naturally occurring chemical reacti. SOUND ABSORPTION The absorbent characteristics and sound reducti indices of the blocks were measured in Research Laboratory s UKAS accredited test facility. Full test reports are available request. All measurements of sound absorpti were performed in accordance with the guidance set down in BS EN ISO 354: 2011 s Measurement of sound absorpti in a reverberati room. SPORTING GREEN AG developed the Sporting Green colour to help achieve the requirement as prescribed by Sport England in the design guidance notes (secti 5) February AG s Sporting Green colour will give sufficient ctrast against sporting accessories. Further to this, the finish of the block work will give a uniform look across all planes, adding aesthetic value to the project. EDGES Block available in full and half block sizes.

Manufactured in accordance to BS EN 771-3: 2003 Specificati for Masry Units. WATER ABSORBPTION When independently tested, the block range was found to have a water absorpti value of between 4-8%. Dimensis Standard Actual size Co-ordinating size mm 450 x 225 mm SUSTAINABILITY + AIR TIGHTNESS Block is suitable for use in buildings which have an air tightness requirement. The company carries out regular tests and BSRIA Test Certificates are available up request. DRYING SHRINKAGE The Drying Shrinkage value of block is important as this affects the amount of shrinkage which takes place in panels of masry. Values for are typically less than 0.04%.

In this, visual ctrast forms a vital part, with current guidance being that Light Reflectance Values (LRV) of ctrasting areas should exceed 30 points. Classico Blanco, Erneste Buff and Sporting Green are the most commly used of the block range for visual ctrast. The Erneste Buff colour exhibits a LRV of 53 for daylight / fluorescent lighting and a LRV of 56 for tungsten lighting. Sport England s advice the design of sports, community and village halls is that an LRV of around 50 is ideal. AG have developed the Sporting Green colour to enable specifiers to fully comply with Sport England s requirements, achieving LRV s of 48 and 53 for Athena (smooth) and Corinthian (textured) finishes respectively.
