Case Study - Clacton Lifeboat Centre
When the Clacton Lifeboat Centre was opened in 2007, it's imaginative design and innovative use of materials was widely applauded. To add aesthetic appeal to the structure and to provide a functional purpose, Hi-Strength Paint Grade Smooth blocks from the Thermalite range were used for the interior of the building. Hi-Strength Paint Grade Smooth combines the high quality appearance that smooth faced walling demands, with the compressive strength of Thermalite Hi-Strength blocks.
