What are two functions of trench blocks?
A trench block was a wood and wire structure that was made to block the trenches and prevent the enemy from advancing through a trench system.
Can you lay block and beam on trench blocks?
Foundation Blocks can be used to support 3 storey constructions. They are suitable for the support of solid or cavity walls, framed construction or suspended floors, including beam and block.
What are Thermalite trench blocks?
Thermalite aircrete blocks provide a cost-effective solution for below-ground construction. A closed micro-cellular structure, that features tiny pockets of trapped air, gives Thermalite its distinctive features: high thermal and sound insulation, lightness for handling, high compressive strength and fire resistance.
Are trench blocks any good?
Independent tests have shown that you can build foundations at least twice as fast by using trench blocks and four times as fast as building with common brick.
Can trench blocks be used above ground?
The product is available in two strength categories and a range of thicknesses. Foundation blocks may also be used above ground for solid wall construction. Application: Celcon Foundation Blocks can be laid below DPC level without mortared perpends.
Why do you use trench blocks?
The use of trench blocks as a form of construction incorporates a blockwork foundation below ground level with a traditional brick and block cavity wall above. The cavity can be partially filled or full filled as required. This type of construction offers a structure with good sound and thermal insulation qualities.
