MFS Comment
We are an H+H Recommended Rå Build Contractor and long standing user of H+H aircrete products. On this project you could not use much more aircrete if you tried. We used aircrete for the entire inner skin of the development. We specialise in Rå Build and know how easy and fast it is to get an aircrete shell built from dpc.
Client Testimonial
The choice of the H+H Celcon Thin Joint Aircrete block work system throughout the build was one of the key Design decisions in our solution to achieve Level 3 of the Code; and with the build contract undertaken by Masonry Frame Systems, it proved to be a wise decision.
Johan Leibenberg , Design Manager, Wates Living Space LtdBy working together with Isover, we consistently were able to show how effective an aircrete wall can be at reducing the passage of sound between dwellings, in fact being the first to come up with such an answer using this material.
