As an environmentally friendly product, Aircrete offers many benefits in construction that add to the sustainable credentials of the project, including thermal insulation, thermal mass and air-tightness.

The chemical reaction that forms aircrete’s structure, results in each block being made up of millions of noninterconnecting cells. This structure is the source of many of the product benefits, its lightweight as well as reducing the ability for anything to pass through the product. This is further enhanced by the use of Celcon’s thin joint masonry, which by reducing the thickness of the mortar joints from 10mm to 2mm and ensuring the joints are fully-filled by using the correct applicator reduces the passage of anything
from one side of the wall to the other.

Thermal insulation
Aircrete products can help optimise a constructions thermal performance and reduce the need for additional insulation. They also offer enhanced thermal insulation when used in foundations and beam and block floors by reducing the heat that has passed from the heated structure to the outside environment.

Sound insulation
Aircrete’s structure reduces the passage of sound, with simple solutions using Celcon products comfortably exceeding the requirements of the Building Regulations whether through Pre-Competition Testing or Robust Details delivering real benefits to people’s environments both at home and
in the workplace.
