AAC Blocks: New Age Building Materials for Resilient Structures

By choosing eco-friendly building materials to build your dream home, you are not only doing your part to conserve the environment but are also saving your overall construction cost. Among the innovative construction materials used around the world, the Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Block (AAC Block) is considered superior to other conventional materials such as burnt clay bricks which cause environmental hazards. The benefits of AAC blocks as an economical and sustainable alternative to traditional building materials are being widely recognized in India.

What are AAC blocks?

AAC block is a precast, foam concrete, durable building material composed of an aggregate of quartz sand, calcined gypsum, lime, Portland cement, water and aluminum powder. After mixing and molding, the concrete is autoclaved under heat and pressure and thus acquires its characteristic properties. AAC bricks are in high demand due to their high strength, load-bearing and thermal insulation properties.

Here's a quick look at the unique features of the AAC block:

•color: gray white

•50% lighter than lightweight red bricks.

•Between two and six hours depending on the fire retardant thickness.

•25% reduction in energy efficient air conditioning costs.

•Thermal efficiency is three times higher than clay bricks.

•Water absorption about 10% of its weight

•Sound separation 42 dB (approx).

•Affordable cost About one-third of the cost of regular bricks.

Where are AAC blocks used?

AAC blocks are commonly used in the construction of apartments and other types of residential properties, industrial and commercial buildings, such as hotels, offices, hospitals and schools. Due to their excellent heat insulation capability, AAC blocks find application in interior and exterior construction. They are ideal for tall buildings.

What are the benefits of AAC block?

In today's time when the world is realizing the importance of environmental protection, the construction sector has also witnessed technological advancements including the use of innovative and sustainable building materials. Check out some of the advantages of AAC blocks:

•Better work efficiency and faster construction:

•Earthquake resistant

•Durable and economical

•Fire resistant

•Thermal insulation and energy efficiency

AAC block vs red brick

AAC block makers are sought after by construction companies in India, as this new age building material is more than conventional bricks due to several reasons. Firstly, bricks are heavy and their use in building construction adds to the cost and wastage. In addition, rising kiln fuel prices may affect the overall cost.On the other hand, AAC blocks are lightweight. AAC blocks weigh about 80% less than conventional red bricks and reduce the use of cement and steel, leading to cost savings. Also, being eco-friendly, AAC blocks ensure better durability and better sound and heat insulation than bricks.
