The present invention relates to building materials, in particular to blocks and panels for use in construction of buildings. More particularly, it relates to compositions for such blocks and panels. The present invention seeks to provide a building panel having a high thermal insulating function and based largely on volcanic aggregate materials. We describe a building composite material comprising a mixture of an aggregate and a binder, wherein the aggregate comprises at least one vesicular igneous rock and expanded perlite. Preferably, the vesicular igneous rock is pumice and/or scoria. The aggregate may comprise a further igneous rock, such as tuff.
