ADVANTAGES OF AAC BLOCKS OVER RED BRICKS

Image
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...

                         AAC BLOCKS-FUTURE'S RELEVANT ECONOMIC STRATEGY OF THE NATION AAC BLOCKS   RISE OF AUTOCLAVED AERATED CONCRETE BLOCKS AAC has been into existence since the year 1923. It is an Eco-friendly, light weight and concrete building material produced from the raw material such as fly ash. It started getting credible due to the increasing awareness of sustainable and green building material. AAC blocks promotes heating and cooling at lower costs and are safer to use. AAC-THE TACTICS FOR YOUR SAVINGS AAC block is cost-effective as it involves speedy construction and requires only less raw materials. The supply chain is strong and it starts from raw material suppliers to distributors, wholesalers and then to retailers. AAC brick owes to energy savings of cooling and heating process in construction sector and thus the end user will get benefited. The manufactures are scouring on innovating cost-ef...
