Celcon Elements
Celcon Elements are storey-high panels of aircrete, designed to allow an exceptionally fast build method. Manufactured to the design storey height of a house with a width of 600mm and a thickness of 100mm, Elements are designed to be craned into place onto a bed of mortar on standard foundations. Blocks are joined using Thin-Joint Mortar with 2mm (3mm) joints, providing an extremely airtight finish and panels can be cut on site to accommodate design details.
Benefits
Used as part of whole-house system, such as the SIG I-House, these panels will typically allow for the full watertight structure of a standard two-floor house to be completed in just one week. Celcon Elements are equally appropriate for commercial and industrial buildings, schools, hospitals or leisure facilities.
Celcon Elements combine the cost benefits associated with offsite construction with the reassuring familiarity of masonry.
