Description

High strength, aerated autoclaved concrete foundation blocks available in 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.
