Celcon is a recognised manufacturer of aircrete blocks used in masonry construction throughout the UK. Aircrete blocks are produced using aerated concrete technology which creates a lightweight block with a uniform internal structure. This manufacturing process produces blocks that are easier to handle than many dense concrete blocks while maintaining structural performance suitable for many walling applications.
Because aircrete blocks are relatively lightweight and easy to cut, they are commonly used on residential construction projects where speed of installation and consistent block dimensions are beneficial.
Aircrete blocks are used across a range of masonry applications. Typical examples include:
The relatively low weight of aircrete blocks can make them easier to handle during installation compared with some denser concrete blocks.
When specifying masonry blocks, factors commonly considered include:
Aircrete blocks are often used within wall systems designed to balance structural performance with thermal efficiency.
The Celcon product we currently supply is the H+H Celcon Solar Blocks 2.9N 100mm x 215mm x 440mm. This block is used in masonry wall construction where lightweight aircrete units form part of the specified build-up.
Aircrete blocks are frequently ordered alongside other masonry materials such as bricks, concrete blocks and insulation used within the same wall build-up.
