Detail Library – New Details July 2025
House Extensions BLOG

On the Detail Library, we’re pleased to share Part 2 of our comprehensive set of construction details showcasing Porotherm clay block systems.

Porotherm is a precision-engineered clay block walling system that delivers fast construction, high thermal performance, and robust airtightness. These details demonstrate the Porotherm monolithic block system — from ground-bearing slabs and party walls to eaves, windows, and doors.

This is part two of a two part set — don’t forget to check out part one!

This new set features 11 junctions covering monolithic Porotherm wall types, and it includes:

  • Porotherm Monolithic Wall to Window Head and Cill
  • Porotherm Monolithic Wall to Window Jamb
  • Porotherm Monolithic Wall to Eaves with Over Rafter Insulation
  • Porotherm Monolithic Wall to Roof Eaves with Loft Ventilation
  • Porotherm Monolithic Wall to Ground Bearing Slab
  • Porotherm Monolithic Wall to Beam and Block Floor
  • Porotherm Monolithic Wall to Intermediate Floor
  • Porotherm Monolithic Wall to Party Wall (Plan View)
  • Porotherm Cavity Party Wall to Beam and Block Floor
  • Porotherm Monolithic Wall to Internal Wall (Plan View)
  • Porotherm Monolithic Wall to Door Head and Threshold

If you’re working on a project using Porotherm systems, these details are an excellent resource to help meet performance standards while achieving speed and efficiency on site.

We hope you find them useful.
