Celcon Aircrete Block - 440 x 215 x 100mm

The primary benefit is their high compressive strength (7.3 N/mm²), making them suitable for demanding structural applications like foundations and multi-storey buildings where load-bearing capacity is critical.

Yes, they can be used for foundations and below ground level. It is essential to ensure proper damp-proof course (DPC) installation to prevent moisture issues.

These blocks should be laid using a suitable cementitious mortar mix specifically designed for aircrete blocks, following manufacturer recommendations.

High Strength Grade Celcon blocks are identified by a black stripe on the block itself.

The dimensions of this Celcon Aircrete Block are 440mm (length) x 215mm (height) x 100mm (width).

Yes, they have a thermal conductivity of 0.18 W/mK, which contributes positively to the building's overall thermal performance and insulation.

Store blocks on a level, dry surface, ideally elevated off the ground. Cover them to protect from prolonged exposure to weather and excessive moisture.

Ensure blocks are handled carefully, avoiding dropping or excessive impact. Use appropriate lifting techniques. Check mortar mix and application; too wet or too dry can affect bond and lead to stress.

Verify the mortar mix is correct as per manufacturer guidelines for aircrete blocks. Ensure block surfaces are clean and free from dust or debris before applying mortar. Check ambient temperature and humidity for optimal curing conditions.

Confirm that a continuous and correctly installed damp-proof course (DPC) is present. Ensure adequate drainage around the foundation and that the blocks are not exposed to standing water.

Ensure consistent mortar joint thickness. If rendering or plastering, ensure the wall surface is true and plumb before applying finishes.
