Light in weight & on pocket too
AAC Block is one third (1/3) weight of bricks and one fifth (1/5) weight of concrete. AAC Blocks are produced in easily handled sizes. It reduces dead weight of a structure, consequently consumption and investment in steel and concrete.
High dimension accuracy & uniform surface
Due to automated manufacturing process, AAC blocks have high dimension accuracy. It is extremely easy to install, use less mortars for joining and due to uniform surface require minimum thickness of finishing material saving natural sand, cement, labour, plastering/finishing & precocious time.
Long lasting
AAC Blocks are not vulnerable to water damage as compared to other construction materials as microscopic structure of block does not allow penetration making it impervious. Autoclave steaming process and use of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in manufacturing process make AAC Blocks tough to even withstand extreme climatic conditions.
Earthquake Resistant
Earthquake forces on structure are proportional to the weight of the building, hence light weight blocks show excellent resistance to earthquake forces. High seismic zones such as Japan exclusively use AAC Blocks for safe buildings.
Energy Saving
AAC Blocks give superior thermal insulation because of low thermal conductivity and low air infiltration. Moreover, lesser joints and better compacted (thin) joining mortar add to the thermal insulation. This leads to well insulated interiors, keeping out warm air in summers and cold air in winters. AAC Blocks reduces energy cost by upto 30%.
Highly Fire Resistance
AAC Block is an inorganic and incombustible building material with high fire rating of atleast 4 hours. The melting point of AAC block is over 1600°C, more than double the building fire temperature.
Pest Resistance
With solid wall construction and finishes, there are fewer if any, cavities for insects and rodents to dwell in. Termites and ants do not eat or nest in AAC blocks. Being made up of inorganic minerals, AAC blocks does not promote growth of molds.
Ease of working
Across residential, commercial and industrial buildings AAC Blocks can be easily cut, drilled, nailed, grooved, milled crafted and shaped with common hand tools and is easily adaptable.
Environment Friendly
AAC Block is a globally acknowledged Green building material. As compared to conventional bricks AAC Block decreases over 50% green house radiation & utilizes over 60% environment waste.
Acoustic Insulation
With its closed air pockets, AAC blocks can provide very good sound insulation / sound absorption with an Sound Transmissions Class (STC) rating of 45dB fit for housing areas on busy road side, workshops, factories, theaters and auditoriums.
