Lightweight – It typically weighs 1/5 of standard concrete products
Easily cut and customized on-site post-production – if needed
Maintains its structural integrity over time
Extremely durable
Can be used as cladding to protect internal building materials such as steel Speed of Construction:
Material ease of application and its lightweight characteristics make it easier and faster to install. A standard building crew can install four times the area of AAC Blocks than that of other regular masonry applications in the same period. Fire Resistant
Non-combustible material
Emits non-toxic fumes when exposed to fire
Fire Rating of 4 hours on 200 mm thick AAC Unit Moisture/Water Resistant
Water absorption coefficient of 4kg /m2 x h0.5
High durability characteristics over traditional materials relative to humidity, freeze/thaw cycles, and chemical attacks
Achieves moisture resistance with final surface treatments such as stucco, plaster, paint, or cladding
Withstands high winds/stormy conditions Pest Resistant
Impervious to attacks by termites and other harmful insects Thermal Insulation
A bare 25 cm thick AAC wall provides the same thermal insulation value as similar wall of cement blocks with a thickness of 270 cm
Dramatically reduces energy consumption for heating and cooling in buildings Acoustic Insulation
Due to its porous internal structure, comprised of 60-70% air, it effectively reduces soundwave transmissions.
STC rating is 48/53 for 500/600 density blocks or panels (DB. 50) tested in accordance with ASTM
AAC products are tested in accordance with ASTM E90.
Environmental Credentials
ESTIDAMA listed – AAC Blocks are qualified as green building materials.
Our production process requires less energy than other building materials.
Due to our fully automated production process, we generate less than 1.5% of waste; most of this waste goes into a recycling process to be used in other manufacturing or industrial processes.
Natural resources are used to manufacture AAC blocks, which results in no harmful emissions of toxic chemicals.
Generates minimal waste during the building process as it is easily customizable and cut using hand tools.
It does not need to be combined with insulation materials, which can have harmful environmental impacts.
