Lightweight AAC Blocks

Product Details:

AUTOCLAVED AERATED CONCRETE (AAC) BLOCK is a light weight and certified green building material, which can be used for the purpose of Commercial, Industrial and Residential construction.

In India, the demand for these blocks has risen by 10 fold in the last 5 years and touted as the most Eco Friendly and innovative building material of the century.Autoclaved Aerated Concrete also known as Autoclaved Cellular Concrete (ACC), Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete (ALC) building material invented in mid-1920s that simultaneously provides structure, insulation, fire and mould resistance.

AAC is a highly thermal insulating concrete based material used for both internal and external construction and are light in weight, energy efficient, fire proof, sound proof, easy to install and Eco friendly as it is ecological, recyclable, higher strength to weight ratio, seismic resistance, precision and breakages. These Blocks are unique and excellent building materials offers ultimate workability, flexibility and durability.

AAC was developed in 1924 by a Swedish architect, who was looking for alternate building material with properties similar to that of wood – good thermal insulation, solid structure and easy to work with without the disadvantage of combustibility, decay and termite damage.

AAC has excellent thermal insulation and acoustic absorption properties. It is fire and pest resistant, economically and environmentally superior to the more traditional structural building materials such as Concrete, Wood, Brick and Stone.

AAC Blocks are manufactured Plant at Hospet as per IS 2185 (Part-3) 1984 using the finest graded Fly Ash – Grade 1 and marketing under the brand name of CONECC.

1. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

The use of recycled industrial waste (fly ash), non-toxic ingredients, no emitting gases, and fewer energy consumptions makes the ACC Blocks eco-friendly and sustainable.

2. Lightweight

The AAC Blocks are 3 to 4 times lighter than bricks, 30% lighter than that of concrete which helps in reducing the dead load of the building, thereby allowing construction of taller buildings.

3. Thermally Insulated & Energy Efficient

Tiny air pores and thermal mass of blocks provide excellent thermal insulation, thus reducing heating and air conditioning costs of a building.

4. Fire Resistant

Non-combustible and fire-resistant up to 1600° C which can withstand up to 6 hours of direct exposure.

5. Acoustic Performance

As the AAC block is porous in nature, the sound absorption quality is superior. It offers sound attenuation of about 42 dB, blocking out all major sounds and disturbances which makes it ideal for schools, hospitals, hotels, offices, multi-family housing and other structures that require acoustic insulation.

6. Easy Workability and Design Flexibility

AAC blocks can be easily cut, drilled, nailed, milled and grooved to fit individual requirements.

7. Seismic Resistant

Lightweight blocks reduce the mass of a structure, thus decreasing the impact of an earthquake on a building. Non-combustible nature provides an advantage against fires, which commonly accompany earthquakes.

8. Faster Construction

Construction of AAC Blocks reduces the construction time by 20%. As different sizes of blocks help reduce the number of joints in wall masonry. The lighter weight of the blocks makes it easier and faster to transport, place and construct the masonry.
