The Celcrete block system is a solid load bearing wall construction system comprising 100mm - 300mm thick Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks reinforced at intervals by vertical steel rods anchored into the foundation of the building. This system is extensively used in Europe and creates a quiet, warm, dry home, superior in every way.
Properties:
The blocks are solid AAC and are typically 600mm x 200mm x 200mm
Thermal Resistivity, R: 1.6 m2 K/W
Sound Transmission Class (STC): 43
Fire Resistance: 4 hours
Constructed with rods and thin bed adhesive mortar
Compliance:
NZBC Clause B2.3.1 requires a minimum life of 50 years for structural walls - the life of Celcrete blocks will greatly exceed this.
