WHAT IS AAC Blocks?
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks are lightweight, compact, and long-lasting building materials widely used in construction.
AAC blocks are widely used in the construction of apartments and other types of residential properties, and industrial and commercial buildings, such as hotels, offices, hospitals, and schools. Owing to their excellent heat insulation capacity, AAC bricks find application in interior and exterior construction. They are ideal for high-rise structures. AAC Blocks are lightweight and compared to the red bricks AAC blocks are three times lighter.
Features & Benefits of AAC
High Strength
Grade l, ISI-approved high-pressure steam curing autoclaving process gives AAC blocks an unmatchable strength-to-weight ratio higher than even M150 concrete.
Cost Saving
Time consumed in building walls decreases due to the light weight of the product and its size advantage over conventional clay bricks. This decreases lead time as well as installation time.
Pest Resistant
With solid wall construction and finishes, there are fewer if any, cavities for insects & rodents to dwell in.
Earthquake Resistant
The manufacturing process gives the blocks considerable strength, this along with their lightweight impart steadiness to a building, making it earthquake resistant.
Noise Resistant
With a sound transmission class rating of 44, it can be used as a sound barrier 8″ wall along busy roads.
Water Saving
There is no need to water AAC Blocks for curing. Only the mortar joints need to be cured with water in case of a conventional mortar mix; if Ecorex blocks jointing mortar is used then absolutely no water is required.
Fire Resistant
AAC material is completely inorganic and not combustible. AAC Blocks are suitable for use in areas where fire safety is recommended as these blocks are fire resistant for about 2-6 hours depending on the thickness of the wall.
Energy Efficient
Thermal insulation is one of the greatest benefits of using AAC Blocks, as AAC walls help maintain distinct internal and external temperatures, saving energy costs.
