LIGHT WEIGHT AAC BLOCKS

     Light weight AAC blocks are also called Autoclaved Light-weighted Concrete blocks(ALC). It is a light-weight precast building material that provides fire and pest resistant, structure and insulation. It also has excellent acoustic absorption properties. Light weight AAC blocks are superior in their properties compared to other building materials. 

FEATURES OF LIGHT WEIGHT AAC BLOCKS

• Light-weight AAC blocks are Eco-friendly and are 50% lighter than the traditional bricks. This was invented in 1920's.
• The fire resistance of these blocks ranges from 2 to 6 hours. highly influenced by their thickness.
• These aerated bricks owes to its energy efficiency as it reduces the air conditioning costs by 25% and thermal efficiency is three times greater compared to red bricks.
• The light-weight AAC bricks possess a sound insulation of 42 decibels and its water absorption capacity is 10% off their mass.
• These bricks are highly demanded due to their incredible cost, which are one-third of traditional blocks.

 USES OF LIGHT WEIGHT AAC BLOCKS 

Because of their outstanding ability in thermal insulation Light-weight AAC blocks are used both as exterior and interior walls. The residential and commercial buildings such as hotels, hospitals, auditoriums, schools are raised by these innovative blocks. Apartments and other industrial buildings also adds a feather to the crown of these awesome blocks. 

ADVANTAGES OF LIGHT WEIGHT AAC BLOCKS

• Good thermal insulation with excellent energy efficiency.
• Resistance towards fire.
• High durability and sustainability.
• Prevents earth quakes.
• Termite resistance is incredible.
• Stringent compressive strength.

                             The factors which makes attraction towards these Light weight AAC blocks are infinite on which only some are discussed in our topic. It is concluded that these light weight bricks will surely bring a revolution in masonry sector.
