An engineered product like an AAC block comes with properties which makes it better than traditional bricks enhancing the sustainability of the building. It saves on the overall cost of the building and it’s a very good alternative to traditional building blocks.

It’s not a new product which has come into the market and has the ability to take the market by storm. No….. as its in usage since the last 80 years. In the early 1920s, Dr Johan Axel Erikkson, along with Professor Henrik Kreuger, developed AAC blocks. After patenting the manufacturing process in 1924, AAC blocks were produced in full swing from 1929 in Sweden.

Presently, AAC blocks manufacturing on a wide scale as construction material, is done across countries like the United States of America, Russia, Germany and India. The popularity of AAC blocks is steadily growing in many countries in Asia, including India, owing to increasing demand for housing units and commercial spaces.

AAC blocks are manufactured using a mix of generally available raw materials like fly ash, cement, lime and gypsum.

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC Blocks) comprises of a combination of Tobermorite 11A molecules and air pores. Tobermorite 11A is a molecule that, once created, cannot physically decompose through heat, rot, corrosion or other chemical process which enhances its durability.

Thermal efficiency: Three times higher than clay.
Lightweight: 50% lighter than red bricks.
Affordable cost: You can save 30% on the overall budget using AAC.
Energy efficiency: 25% reduction in air-conditioning reducing electricity bills.
