We’ve all seen those big grey bricks that are increasingly being featured at every construction site you come across. Those are AAC blocks.
AAC stands for autoclaved aerated concrete. It is also alternatively known as autoclaved cellular concrete, porous concrete, autoclaved lightweight concrete, and aircrete.
AAC is first considered to be developed by a Swedish architect. As a result of his efforts, AAC now comes equipped with all of the advantages of using wood but at a much, much lower cost. Which would be further reduced if you plan on purchasing the said blocks from us!
AAC blocks are gaining momentous popularity in construction due to the several advantages that they offer.
What goes into an AAC Block?
The AAC block is a precast, foam concrete, sustainable construction material made from aggregates of quartz sand, calcined gypsum, lime, portland cement, water, and aluminum powder. Our company manufactures these AAC blocks that are soon voted to replace any other building material.
Used both in the internal and external construction of a building, our AAC blocks can help you build your dream house in a safe, solid, and sturdy way.
Advantages of Using AAC Blocks
Lightweight
This is the first and foremost pro of using these blocks in your construction site. An average AAC block that we produce is easily thrice lighter when compared to your traditional brick. Sometimes, even more. The porous nature of these blocks adds to the no-weight factor that is held at high esteem in the block’s specialty. This reduced weight percentage would allow you to construct a much taller building than while using a normal brick.
Fire-Resistant
All AAC block material is made in such a way that it is assured to be non-combustible. With fire resistance given up to six hours (depending on the block thickness), it can resist under 1,200 degrees celsius. So your hypothetical burning building questions will always remain metaphorical.
Eco-Friendly
It’s high time we tried to be environmentally conscious. Our AAC products do just that by providing its customers with a sustainable product that is made using natural and non-toxic raw materials and their manufacturing process generates a minimal level of waste.
Thermal Insulation & Energy-Efficient
We’ve already mentioned that AAC blocks are porous, this material contains small air pockets and the usage of hydrogen causes the concrete to foam. This makes for its stellar heat insulation capacity. So, not only can we build you a strong house, but we’ll also make it in such a way that the house remains warm during winters and cold in summers. AAC blocks are also highly energy-efficient, as their production involves less energy consumption.
Ease of Construction
Due to the lightness of the AAC blocks and the different sizes available, we can say for sure, that the total time taken for the construction would be significantly reduced with the use of these blocks. They can be nailed, drilled, grooved, and cut at a much faster pace. They also facilitate other installations such as water and electricity with minimal fuss.
Apart from the above-mentioned advantages, the use of AAC blocks also offers pest resistance, reduction in the overall cost, more accuracy, etc. they are also seismic resistant and waterproof.
So, if you are planning on building something, use our AAC blocks for an amazing experience.
