NBS BIM object standard Verified by manufacturer 7 months ago
BBA Agrément Certificate
Certificate type
Aerated autoclaved concrete foundation blocks.
Application
Suitable for use below damp proof course (DPC) level.
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.
