Product Overview
H+H Celcon High Strength Grade aircrete blocks with a 440mm length, 215mm height, and 100mm width. These blocks are manufactured to provide a high compressive strength of 7.3N/mm², making them suitable for structural applications where increased load-bearing capacity is required in residential and commercial developments. The aircrete material offers a balance of strength, thermal performance, and durability for various masonry wall configurations.
The blocks perform effectively in both internal and external wall assemblies, offering resilience against moisture and contributing to the overall thermal envelope of a structure. Their high-strength rating allows for use in multi-storey projects, offices, and retail units where structural integrity is a primary design factor.
The units are manufactured to precise standard dimensions, facilitating efficient laying and alignment. The product is designed with a specific density and a standard width of 100mm.
Features & Benefits
- Compressive strength (7.3N/mm²): Provides the robust load-bearing capacity required for multi-storey residential, office, and retail developments.
- Thermal conductivity: Delivers effective thermal insulation to assist in reducing heat loss throughout the building envelope.
- Moisture resistance: Engineered to maintain durability and structural integrity in environments exposed to damp conditions.
- Sustainable composition: Manufactured to support environmentally conscious building practices and energy-efficient construction.
- High-strength aircrete: Delivers superior load-bearing performance for heavy-load applications.
- Standard face dimensions (440mm x 215mm): Ensures consistent coursing and compatibility with standard masonry practices.
- Width (100mm): Designed for use in standard wall layouts, providing a balance of structural support and space efficiency in the 100mm width.
Applications
- Cavity walls external leaf below DPC: Suitable for supporting wall assemblies in below-ground conditions.
- Cavity walls external leaf above DPC: Provides structural strength and thermal protection for the external building envelope.
- Cavity walls inner leaf above DPC: Delivers load-bearing support for internal structures above the damp-proof course.
- Cavity walls inner leaf below DPC: Maintains structural integrity for foundation-level masonry requirements.
-
Separating walls: Facilitates robust partition construction between units for acoustic and thermal performance.
Installation Guidance
- Surface preparation: Ensure foundations are level and free from debris to guarantee a stable base for the first course.
- Mortar application: Use thin-joint or traditional mortar to secure blocks, ensuring a strong bond and minimised cold bridging.
- Jointing: Stagger all vertical joints across subsequent courses to distribute loads effectively and prevent cracking.
-
Alignment: Use appropriate levelling tools during installation to maintain consistent wall plumb and finish.
Compliance & Performance
- Compressive strength: Fully compliant with design requirements for high-load construction projects.
- Service class: Rated for both internal and external masonry applications above ground level.
- Finishing: Engineered with a textured surface profile that provides an excellent key for the application of standard renders and plasters.
- Pallet Charge: Orders requiring a pallet will incur a refundable pallet charge. Our customer service team will confirm if this applies to your order.
