Description
Aerated autoclaved concrete foundation blocks available in two strength categories and a range of thicknesses. Foundation blocks may also be used above ground for solid wall construction.
Features and benefits:
- Enhanced thermal performance: their use reduces heat loss from ground floors.
- Frost resistance: they have exceptionally good resistance to freeze/thaw conditions.
- Lightweight: they weigh one third of an equivalent dense aggregate block.
- Reduced costs: an independent report by Davis Langdon LLP, concludes Celcon Foundation Blocks are up to 26% cheaper than dense aggregate blocks.
- Speed of construction: Enable a quick and reliable construction as only one wall has to be set out and there is no need for wall ties or lean mix fill.
