Product Information

Full details

The H+H Celcon 140mm Standard Grade 3.6N Aircrete Block is an ideal solution for professional builders and contractors seeking a balance of structural strength and thermal performance. Designed for both internal and external masonry, these blocks offer high durability for load-bearing and partition walls, though their porous aerated nature requires careful handling to prevent corner damage during transport and site storage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these blocks be used below ground level?

Yes, Celcon Standard Grade blocks are suitable for use below the damp-proof course (DPC).

Are these blocks load-bearing?

Yes, with a compressive strength of 3.6N/sqmm, they are suitable for most load-bearing applications in residential construction.

Do I need special tools to cut these blocks?

A standard tungsten-tipped handsaw is sufficient for cutting, though an electric masonry saw is faster for large projects.

Are these blocks fire-rated?

Yes, they are non-combustible and provide excellent fire resistance for structural wall elements.

How many blocks are in a pallet?

This specific pack contains 120 blocks.

Can I plaster directly onto these blocks?

Yes, they provide a stable, flat surface suitable for direct plastering or thin-coat render systems.

Troubleshooting

Cracking at block joints

Ensure that the mortar joints are fully filled and that the blocks are laid in a proper bond pattern to distribute stress.

Fixings pull out of the wall

Use helical anchors or specialized chemical fixings designed specifically for low-density aerated concrete.

Surface damage during transit

Use mechanical lifting equipment where possible and avoid dropping blocks onto hard surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties
  • Lightweight construction reduces overall foundation load
  • Suitable for internal and external use above or below DPC
  • Non-combustible material ensures high fire safety ratings
  • Consistent dimensions simplify mortar application

Cons

  • Susceptible to surface chips if handled roughly
  • Requires specific masonry fixings for heavy wall hangings
  • Higher unit cost compared to standard dense concrete blocks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure structural integrity, use a suitable mortar mix as specified by project requirements. When building, ensure the blocks are kept dry on-site before installation to maintain their thermal properties. For heavy objects like cabinets or televisions, use specialized aerated concrete fixings rather than standard rawlplugs to ensure a secure anchor. Store blocks on a flat, level surface and cover them with protective plastic to prevent water saturation before they are laid in the wall.
