Celcon Vertical Wall Panels are storey-high panels of aircrete, designed to allow an exceptionally fast build method. Manufactured to the storey height of a house with a width of 600mm and a thickness of 100mm, Vertical Wall Panels 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.

These storey-height panels of aircrete can be used to form the inner leaf of external walls, separating walls and internal partitions. They are placed onto standard foundations and installed using a fast-setting and very strong mortar especially developed for use with Vertical Wall Panels.

When combined with prefabricated timber floors and a prefabricated roof system, Vertical Wall Panels provide a system-build solution that can construct the superstructure of a house from foundation to roof within a week onsite. 

This then provides a watertight and airtight shell for follow on trades to move into, and one which is constructed using a material they are familiar with so no additional training is required for site workers.

This method of building is an ideal Modern Method of Construction which is recognised by the NHBC and is part of the NHBC Accepts scheme. 

The benefits of aircrete apply as much to Vertical Wall Panels as to other H+H aircrete products ensuring proven durability and high acoustic, thermal and airtight performance.

Celcon Vertical Wall Panels are manufactured in a range of heights with a width of 600mm and a thickness of 100mm. Vertical Wall Panels are craned into place onto a bed of H+H element mortar – a fast-setting and very strong thin-layer mortar developed especially for use with the panels.
