ADVANTAGES OF AAC BLOCKS OVER RED BRICKS

ADVANTAGES OF AAC BLOCKS OVER RED BRICKS AAC BLOCKS AAC blocks are made from the mixture of fly ash, cement, lime, gypsum and an aeration agent. AAC blocks possess a dry density of 550 to 600 kg per cubic meter. Different sizes are available for AAC blocks . RED BRICKS Traditional red bricks are made from natural soil and it constitute of a mixture of clay, sand, lime, iron oxide and magnesia. 1900 kg per cubic meter is the density of red bricks. Different standard modular sizes are available for red bricks. AAC BLOCKS V/S TRADITIONAL BRICKS Thermal conductivity The amount of heat transfer from a specific material is known as thermal conductivity and it is lower in AAC blocks and only conduct less heat, but for red bricks they transfer higher amount of heat. Fire resistance The duration for which a material can withstand against fire is known as fire resistance. AAC blocks...
