Why Use AAC?
What is Autoclaved Aerated Concrete?
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is a lightweight, precast, foam concrete building material suitable for producing concrete masonry units like blocks. It is made from a mixture of cement, lime, sand, water, and an expanding agent that causes the fresh mixture to rise like bread dough. The finished blocks are strong, lightweight, and durable, and are often used in construction projects, such as walls, foundations, and floors.
Why use Autoclaved Aerated Concrete?
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is a lightweight, fire-resistant, and soundproof building material that is becoming increasingly popular for construction projects. AAC blocks are much lighter than traditional concrete blocks, making them easier to transport and handle during construction. AAC blocks are also fire-resistant and can provide up to four hours of fire protection. Additionally, AAC blocks are soundproof and can provide a significant reduction in sound transmission. Finally, AAC blocks are energy-efficient and can help reduce energy costs over time.

03
AAC blocks are fire-resistant and can provide up to four hours of fire protection.
04
AAC blocks are soundproof and can provide a significant reduction in sound transmission.
05
AAC blocks are energy-efficient and can help reduce energy costs over time.
Benefits of AAC
Thermal efficiency
Due to the material’s closed aerated structure, AAC panels are highly effective insulators, which helps reduce a building’s air-conditioning load in comparison to conventional construction. AAC has four times greater thermal resistance than standard house bricks. When incorporated into an energy-efficient design, this superior thermal performance reduces the amount of energy required to heat or cool the building, thus resulting in significant cost savings for homeowners.
Acoustic insulation
With its closed air pockets, AAC has superior soundproofing and acoustic insulation properties. An AAC wall without any gaps or unfilled joints, combined with an insulation asymmetric cavity system, provides exceptional sound insulation that can improve comfort within the indoor living environment.
Fire resistance
The porous structure of AAC gives superior fire resistance. It is also inorganic, incombustible and does not explode, so it is well suited for fire-rated applications.4 Depending on the application and the thickness of panels, fire ratings up to four hours can be achieved.
strength and durability
While it is one-fifth the density of normal concrete, AAC still offers half the bearing strength and can be safely used to erect structures up to three stories high.6 When combined with a durable external finish, AAC panels are also suitable for Australia’s harsh climate and will not degrade under normal conditions.
Speed of construction and reduced costs
The construction benefits of AAC derive primarily from its strong yet lightweight properties and its unique manufacturing process. The light weight of AAC panels make them easier to handle onsite with standard construction tools. Installation requires less labour and creates less onsite mess than brick. AAC panels are also produced to the exact sizes needed before leaving the factory, thus reducing the need for on-site trimming. These benefits contribute to faster, more efficient installation, enabling projects to save on costs, time and energy.
Environmental benefits
As it is comprised of 80% air, AAC contains far less raw materials than standard concrete. Weight for weight, the embodied energy and greenhouse gas emission impacts of AAC are similar to those of concrete. However, on a volume comparison, the environmental impact of AAC manufacturing and construction is significantly less than that of concrete and bricks.
aesthetics
AAC panels are suited to a wide range of modern architectural styles, with rendered finishes that can create distinctive visual effects and contemporary aesthetics. Such finishes have the added advantage of hiding surface imperfections on the exterior facade.
