Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Blocks are widely used building material and are considered a suitable environment-friendly product for many construction projects.
Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) Blocks are manufactured using fly ash mixed with cement, lime, water, & an aeration agent placed in an auto-clave chamber. AAC blocks consumes fewer raw materials, providing multiple benefits as follows:
Lightweight : AAC blocks are significantly lighter than traditional red clay bricks & concrete blocks making them easier to handle and transport. The use of light weight AAC blocks helps in reducing the dead load of a structure, leading to optimizing the volume of materials used for the structure.
Thermal insulation : AAC blocks have a lower thermal conductivity, making them an effective insulation material. This can help to reduce energy costs associated with heating and cooling a building.
Fire resistance : AAC blocks have a higher fire resistance than traditional red bricks.
Durability : AAC blocks are resistant to weathering and decay leading towards long service life.

Sound insulation : AAC blocks have good sound insulation properties, which can help to reduce noise transmission between rooms or between the interior and exterior of a building.

Cost-effective : AAC blocks have lower labour cost than other similar building materials. By using AAC Blocks, therefore lower number of joints, leading to less use of joining mortar. less plastering and no more longer curing time which helps in faster construction.

AAC Blocks are highly versatile building materials that can be used in various types of construction projects such as :
Residential construction : AAC blocks are commonly used in the construction of multi-story buildings, houses.
Commercial construction : AAC blocks are also used in the construction of commercial and industrial buildings, such as office buildings, warehouses, and factories.

Infrastructure projects : AAC blocks are increasingly used for infrastructure projects for applications such as underground as well as elevated station buildings of metro rail projects, administrative buildings and other ancillary structures for ports, airports, highways, etc.
