Cost and Environmental Advantages of Using AAC Blocks

1. Cost and Environmental Advantages of Using AAC Blocks Blocks are famously being used as a primary substitute building material in the form of AAC blocks. Living in a home, construct with aac blocks brings you many advantages to the consumers. Some of the important advantages that include use of AAC Blocks as a construction material. Lighter - As compared to red bricks or clay bricks, AAC blocks are 8 times larger than a red or clay brick and 70 per cent lighter. This also leads to less joints making the building strong using minimum resources like cement, steel and labour. Light Weight Bricks are also available in the market which posses same features as below mentioned. Eco friendly - AAC Blocks and Cement Bricks or Cement Blocks are 100 per cent environment friendly and there are no other chemicals or pollutants are mixed in preparation of AAC Blocks. Hence it qualifies for LEED credits and reduces your carbon footprint. Fire Resistant - AAC Blocks and Fly Ash Blocks are totally inorganic and incombustible, providing approximately twice the fire protection compared to red or clay bricks, making your home nearly fire proof. Hence these AAC Blocks are made with Fly Ash so Fly Ash Blocks are fire resistant. Pest Resistant - Being a non organic based material it is resistant to termites, rodents, ants and insects, thus offering maximum protection from pests and lowering the maintenance cost in the long run. Sound Absorption - To Recreate sound proof rooms AAC blocks are better option and even absorbs sound leading to virtually.

Thermal Insulation -

2. Another important factor is its thermal efficiency. It possesses the highest thermal rating in the industry. Thus, it provides well insulated interiors, keeping out warm air in summers and cold air in winters. Concreat Blocks reduces air conditioning cost by 20 per cent. AAC blocks are 8 times more thermally insulating than clay bricks. Price - AAC Blocks on one hand have price parity with red bricks. Earthquake Resistant - Light Weight Bricks are earthquake resistant and 500 homes made of AAC blocks stood the might of Mother Nature in the 1995 Japan earthquake. As AAC Blocks are lighter in weight compared to clay bricks earthquake forces reduces thereby making the building more stable. Only the reason AAC Blocks are Light Weight they are earthquake resistant. Proven track record - AAC bricks have been used for over 70 years and are widely used in UK, Europe and China. AAC blocks can be used beyond not just a homes & residential complexes most of the hotels, hospitals, shopping malls, educational institutes are using AAC Blocks as there construction material. Top reputed company like Lodha Group also using AAC Blocks for construction of residential building. In India, it’s just the beginning of the ‘Grey Revolution.’ In fact, you can go test it yourself. Take an AAC block and see how easy you can lift it, reason is it is a Light Weight Block. Then use a hammer on it or try to burn it. You will learn that this material is the construction building material of a strong future.
