 Autoclaved Aerated Concrete, also known as A AC, is a lightweight, load-bearing, high-

insulating, durable building material, which is produced in a wide range of sizes and

strengths.

 AAC offers incredible opportunities to increase building quality and at the same time

reduce costs at the construction site. As a result of its excellent properties, AAC is used in

many constructions, such as residential homes, high-rises, mid rise apartments,

commercial and industrial buildings, schools, hospitals, hotels and many other 

applications.

SPECIFICATIONS  AAC can be produced in different sizes.

High compressive strength: AAC is a solid product, therefore making it highly load

bearing. AAC can be used for load bearing and non load bearing partition walls.

COST SAVINGSSince AAC is light weight, if you plan to use the blocks at the conceptual stage of the

building, the architect / structural engineer can reduce the steel reinforcement in the

structure. Mortar joints for walls built with AAC are reduced by 2/3 compared to the wallsbuilt by traditional clay bricks. The AAC blocks are big and hence you pay only for 1/3 of 

 the mortar cost as it requires less quantity for plastering in the finishes. AAC block is easy 

 to cut and chisel; the electrical conduits and plumbing pipes can be easily installed and

concealed in the walls. There will be 50% saving in time and labor on masonry, plumbing

and electrical works.

There is a scope for only 0-1% wastage of material.

MOISTURE/ 

WATER

RESISTANCE

 AAC possesses excellent structural integrity, resisting moisture penetration,

whether caused by wind-driven rain or standing water. Additional weather 

and moisture resistance is achieved with a final surface treatment such as

stucco, plaster and paint, or cladding such as bricks and/or other exterior 

materials. AAC resists high winds and violent storms. AAC products are very 

durable and will not degrade under normal climatic conditions. They have outstanding

durability against humidity and chemical attack compared to traditional material.

 AAC is non-combustible and emits no toxic fumes when exposed to fire.

These properties make A AC the perfect building material to withstand

 the stringent requirements of building codes. It increases the safety of 

 the building's occupants and can potentially lower insurance rates.

CONSTRUCTION

 AAC products have a dramatic impact on the material's rate of 

installation. Walls are both easy to use and quickly installed, thus

enabling a standard crew to install more than four times the square

 footage of AAC than a regular masonry application in the same period

of time.

Heating and air-conditioning can be major cost factors in the operating

expenditures of any type of building. Because of its unique physical

structure, AAC provides much greater thermal insulation than

conventional masonry. An analysis shows that a building built with 8”

 AAC exterior walls and roof slabs outper forms a building built under 

 traditional energy savings.

 AAC is impenetrable to insects. It eliminates the risk of termites, saving

potentially tens of thousands of rupees, in termite control and repair costs.

 AAC is impervious to attack by insects and termites.

PEST

RESISTANCE

 AAC is as strong and sustainable as conventional masonry / brick walls. It

is as easy to work with as wood. All AAC products can be easily cut and

crafted with common hand tools. The ability to make straight cuts r eadily 

reduces waste in site alterations and saves time. AAC is also lightweight,

weighing one fifth of standard concrete products. AAC is easy to handle,

which reduces both labor costs and construction time.

 AAC blocks are manufactured using all natural resources with no

harmful emissions or toxic chemicals. AAC products are completely 

environmentally compatible. The AAC production process requires

much less energy compared to other materials. The product's

outstanding energy efficient qualities makes it an excellent example of 

environmental conservation. AAC qualifies as a “green” building

material.

 AAC provides better sound insulation and absorption qualities than any 

other solid building material. This makes it ideal for construction

projects that require a high level of acoustic insulation, such as

apartments, hotels and entertainment facilities. Since its porous

structure is comprised of 60-70% air, the material absorbs much more

sound than conventional brick, effectively reducing sound wave

 transmission. AAC has more acoustic insulation properties compared to

more traditional materials, reducing sound transmission.

FINISHES There are a variety of compatible finish materials that can be applied to AAC.

Lightweight stuccos that are vapor permeable, yet hydrophobic so as not to allow

water penetration, are applied as a single base coat followed by a color/texture

coat. Other exterior materials, for instance, brick, stone veneer,

ceramic/porcelain tile cladding, marble and granite cladding, etc., can be

attached to AAC walls. Specialized marble aggregate finishes have been used in

a one coat application.

For interiors, a number of fine plaster products are available whose

characteristics are compatible with AAC. They are easy to use in a hand toweled

or spray application, followed by a texture/veneer coat.
