Leca Lecablocco Ruregold

Laterlite is an Italian company that manufactures and develops lightweight insulating products for construction, civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, industrial uses, agriculture, and landscaping.

Our company history began in 1964 when we first introduced lightweight expanded clay aggregates into Italy. Today we have four Italian manufacturing plants, main offices in Milan, and a network that covers all of Italy.

Our research and development from the beginning was focused on creating innovative products based on the material in which we specialise: expanded clay. Currently our range includes lightweight granular materials of various types, special concretes for structural applications, a range of screeds and mortars, and a wide selection of lightweight insulating blocks

Over these 50 years we have produced and sold more than 50,000,000 cubic metres of expanded clay products: long experience that has made Laterlite the leader in its field, helping designers and construction professionals to choose lightweight insulating products for use in construction, sustainable renovation projects, and complex engineering projects.

Ruregold, an Italian based company, has over 20 years experience in innovative cementitious structural reinforcement systems and is part of the Laterlite S.p.A. Group.

In 2001 Ruregold introduced a worldwide innovation in the field of structural reinforcements by patenting several innovative FRCM (Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Matrix) sytems with PBO synthetic fibres and Carbon, that provide high tensile strengths and an improved modulus of elasticity, offering a superior alternative to epoxy resins with traditional FRP systems

The many advantages include Class A Fire Rating, ability to be applied in damp and wet conditions,breathability, and ease of installation (no need for a “specialty” applicator).

Tests required for the certification of the system were performed at the accredited Laboratory of the University of Miami and relative certification was issued by US ICC-ES. Since 2001 several million sq.ft have been applied worldwide, including bridges, cooling towers, embassies and schools.
