AAC Blocks
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) has been used all over the world for decades, firstly produced in terms of industrial means in Sweden in 1923. It is a unique building concept, available in today's market with innumerable building advantages. AAC is lightweight concrete that is produced under special circumstances, by adding aluminum paste which creates a porous shape into the mixture of cement, finely grounded quartz sand or flyash, water and limestone. AAC is very firm and the most durable construction material that provides heat insulation by its porous texture, security against earthquakes through its lightweight structure, and safety against fire by its non-flammable quality (Fire Class A1). This very precise material AAC that is easily processed by not harming the environment at all has the characteristics of being produced very accurately in terms of dimensions. Furthermore, it enables you to save money in transportation, workmanship, use of steel and cement. That's why AAC is largely used in residential, industrial, commercial, social and public construction projects(concrete structures and steel structures). AAC building products can be used for all applications including every type of masonry walls, roofs and floors. AAC is largely preferred especially in many developed countries such as all EU countries, USA, Japan, Russia Australia and all Gulf countries and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and most
developing countries.
Main advantages of AAC concretes
i) Insulating
The excellent insulation properties of AAC mean that a pleasant interior environment can be achieved and maintained. This property also reduces the initial investment and heating/cooling expenses.
ii) Lightweight
AAC is a lightweight product compared to other solid building materials, about one-forth 1/4th of normal concrete block and one-third 1/3th of clay brick. Light weight promotes lower life & injury risk during earthquakes. However, despite millions of tiny air-filled pores, it is still solid. The low weight has advantages when transporting and working with the product as well as for structural design where savings in mass and weight make much more affordable structures possible. This means lighter supporting structures and more compact foundations in both residential and commercial construction projects.
iii) Precise
The patented manufacturing process ensures that AAC is always produced true to size as they leave the factory. This results in less on-site trimming and reduces the quantities of mortar and finishing materials being required. It can be sawn, drilled , nailed and machined using normal wood working tools.
iv) Fireproof
AAC provides maximum fire safety. It is totally inorganic and incombustible, and can be used for all
fire-resistant and vision walls.
v) Ecologic
AAC products are produced with minimum energy, without using agricultural soil. They are non-toxic and do not pollute the environment during production or construction stages. Multi-purpose AAC can be used for all applications including both load and non load-bearing walls, roofs and floors. It can easily be shaped for ornamental and functional architectural details.
