AAC BLOCKS

WHY ARE AAC BLOCKS SO POPULAR IN MODERN CONSTRUCTION? Autoclaved Aerated Concrete blocks are used widely in modern construction due to their light-weight,high moisture resistance,sound absorption, low cost and fire resistance.The excellent and quality properties of these blocks made a revolution in the world and thus by creating a solid stand on the building sector. Demand is getting enhanced for AAC blocks from several countries following the triumph of this material in an international arena. In the last few years these blocks are so popular and the demand of AAC blocks have grown to 10 folds in India. These blocks are capable of withstanding all weather conditions and are used in all type of buildings both as internal and external walls. With a focus on international green policies and standard building guidelines AAC bricks are manufactured under stringent conditions to meet the construction needs. The enhancement of AAC blocks in all loop and poles made it to make a permanent sta...

  EVOLUTION OF AAC CONCRETE BLOCKS AAC block is the popular building material evolved in 1920’s and started producing industrially in the same year. These blocks are light weight, Eco-friendly and cost-effective building blocks which draws its roots from 20 th century. The raw materials used for the formation of this miracle invention are cement, lime, gypsum, sand and aluminium powder. AAC bricks made the real breakthrough in the building sector from 1923. AAC products includes wall panels, blocks, floor and roof panels, and lintels. In India 80% of the construction started to use AAC blocks instead of traditional bricks. INVENTION OF AAC BLOCKS The early discovery of AAC is based on a chain of process patents. In 1880, Michaelis, a German researcher, got a patent on his steam curing processes. Czech Hoffman successfully tested and patented the method of “aerating” the concrete by carbon dioxide in 1889. Aylsworth and Dyer, two American scientists used aluminium powder an...
