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.
