Expanded clay LECA products

LECA offer builders and developers an innovative solution to make significant savings across your construction project while increasing living standards and the quality of construction – introducing expanded clay products.

Savings That Add Up

No more need for multiple layers of bricks/blockwork and cavity wall insulation – you can achieve a superior result in one layer of expanded clay brick. Cut costs on labour and materials while regaining valuable square metres of land. With a quicker turnaround time on construction, you can keep pushing on with your next project(s).

Dry, Clean and Comfortable

Prevent cold bridges being introduced as expanded clay bricks can be joined using our specialist adhesive rather than concrete between bricks. Avoid creating the conditions for condensation and mould, instead set high standards for healthy living environments. (NB: Mortar can be used if preferred).

Expanded clay is an increasingly popular choice because it is the lightest ceramic aggregate on the market while having the highest thermal properties. It can withstand up to 1,250°C without comprising its structural integrity. Due to its unique properties and porous structure, expanded clay has superior resistance to frost and excellent absorption of sound waves, supressing both the transmission of moisture and noise across walls.

A further advantage is its vapour permeability which results in quick drying of the product. Without no waiting for concrete to set and walls to dry-out, expanded clay significantly cuts the speed work can progress resulting in savings on overall project costs.

Versatile, sustainable & cost-effective

Multipurpose, easy to use and with outstanding physical properties for construction – expanded clay Leca products offer builders, architects and developers a high-performance, energy-saving and economical option. Being an all-natural material, expanded clay is also a as a green building material.

Lightweight, thermally-insulating and fireproof – expanded clay has the key components needed for the ideal building material. The composition of expanded clay offers the durability, strength, insulation and cost, all important factors for a practical building material for both domestic and commercial builds.

Expanded Clay Aggregate (ECA)

ECA provides a quick, inexpensive, and permanent method for insulating masonry walls, foundations, green roofs and more. It is a practical choice being lightweight and pours easily without requiring special equipment or skills. Leca products can be nearly 50% lighter than ordinary concrete products without losing their strength. Unlike other insulation products, expanded clay is safe for people, homes and the environment. It has very little impact on the environment, is completely non-toxic, is fireproof as well as chemical resistant. This makes it an excellent material for keeping your structures, and those living within them, safe from harm.

Key benefits of expanded clay:

• Superior thermal performance
• High air permeability
• Outstanding compressive strength
• Fireproof
• Frost and decay resistant
• Excellent acoustic insulation
• Cost effective
• Quick to Install
• Non-toxic
• Eco-friendly
• Resistant to fungi, mould pests & rodents
