Is BLOCKWORK air tight, core filled or not?

Blockwork and Hebel Brick, are interesting products, and they provide so many features in construction, but can these types of walls be relied upon for airtightness? In this video we smoke test and pressure testing, blockwork and hebel brick, and also try some coatings in order to create an area barrier. Note that all test results are for this sample product specifically, and the air leakage rate due to the small sample is indicative only. Other manufacturers blockwork products, can vary significantly due to different densities, porosity and surface qualities. The worst publically documented report on leaky blockwork is available below. An independent test (report number 109848) performed by HRS Services Ltd (UK , now part of Stroma Group) in 2011 demonstrated uncoated standard cellular blocks has the air leakage rate greater than 80m³/h/m². https://www.airtightpaint.co.uk/app/d... https://efficiencymatrix.com https://www.bcta.group/attma/ 00:00 Intro into Blockwork air leakage 02:28 Uncore Filled Blockwork air leakage demonstration 04:08 Corefilled Blockwork air leakage demonstration 06:42 Hebel brick air leakage demonstration 08:00 Painted blockwork air leakage demonstration
