    I was speaking with a non Irish builder .

    He uses Siporax blocks to build some things .

    I can't find any source for siporax in Ireland .

    Does it have a different name here ?

    Or is there an equivalent product available in our Irish market ?

    Just in case anyone is googling this the correct name is SIPOREX with an E. Siporax seems to be something else altogether.

    I see there's thermal versions available. Are new houses built with thermal bricks ? How does one row of this compare to my own house which has polystyrene beads pumped into its cavity wall ?
