The Thermalite Aircrete Trenchblock 355mm is an ideal solution for builders and contractors seeking an energy-efficient foundation material that combines high compressive strength with excellent thermal performance. Designed specifically for below-ground sub-structure projects, these blocks offer a lightweight yet robust alternative to dense concrete, helping to meet modern building regulations; however, they require careful handling to ensure the integrity of the tongue and groove joints during site transport and installation.

These blocks are specifically engineered for below-ground construction. For above-ground applications, refer to standard Thermalite block specifications.
No, they can be easily cut using a standard masonry saw or a high-quality handsaw suitable for aerated concrete.
It provides positive mechanical locking between blocks, ensuring better alignment and increasing the lateral stability of the trench wall.
Thermalite aircrete blocks are designed for subterranean use; however, they should always be protected from saturation and freezing temperatures during the construction phase.
By providing a continuous layer of insulation at the foundation level, they reduce the thermal bridge between the ground and the building structure.
Check the level of the preceding course. If the base is not perfectly level, the joints will not seat properly; adjust the mortar bed depth.
Use a specialized aircrete adhesive or mortar to bridge small gaps, but if the structural integrity is compromised, replace the block to ensure load distribution.
Installation should be performed on a level, compacted trench bottom. Ensure that mortar is applied evenly to the horizontal beds to maintain structural integrity. For compatibility, ensure that the masonry mortars used are suitable for use with aircrete products as per the manufacturer's specification. When storing the blocks on-site, keep them stacked on a dry, level surface and cover them to prevent moisture ingress. Avoid dropping the blocks, as the tongue and groove profiles are vulnerable to chipping or breakage, which can compromise the structural alignment.
