Topcrete RD
Topcrete RD blocks have been developed for the construction of solid separating walls in dwellings conforming to Robust Detail E-WM-9. They satisfy the requirements specified in the Robust Detail and therefore comply with Part E1 to the Building Regulations without the need to undertake routine pre-completion testing.
Topcrete RD blocks include grooves in each end so that it is possible to check the constructed wall to ensure that the correct block has been used; a requirement of this particular Robust Detail. The wall should be finished with plasterboard (12.5kg/m²) on 13mm render with a scratch finish.
