Celcon Foundation Blocks can be laid below ground level without mortar perpends.
Simply lay them with mortared horizontal bed joints and then butt them together to prevent the passage of vermin.
Solar Grade can also be used below ground, All Celcon Foundation Blocks may also be used above ground, with appropriate finishes, for solid wall construction.

Applications: Foundations and Solid Wall Construction
There's nothing wrong with these blocks but in hindsight I would have bought the ones with the hand grip mould. It's just trying to left them in place was a bit tricky when your restricted on space aswell in a trench. They also get much heavier if they have been in the rain.
Coursing Units are produced from the same material as all H+H aircrete and are suitable for the same applications as conventional size Celcon Blocks, allowing consistency within the building fabric.
This highly efficient block (thermal conductivity of just 0.11 W/mK) is sufficiently loadbearing for two storey buildings and can be used below DPC. Identified by the distinctive painted blue line, Celcon Solar Grade has a compressive strength of 2.9N/mm2 and is principally used where enhanced thermal performance is required.
This solid, dense concrete block from Aggregate Industries is suitable for cavity or solid wall constructions, internal load bearing walls and beam and block flooring. Water resistant with sound insulation properties.
