AAC Blocks VS Clay Red Bricks
2
AAC blocks are one of the implementations of the
leading achievements of the 20th century in the
construction industry. It is a revolutionary
material offers a original collection of high
sturdiness and strong property, low weight and
superior inexperienced options. In the 20th
century, conventional construction like using Red
Bricks and clay Bricks usage is deceleration. AAC
Blocks or AAC Bricks replace the conventional
bricks and are most normally used building
materials.AAC Blocks are not only the new
technology but also the most extensively used
building materials global wide. These building
materials are built with square measure the
foremost standard and leading construction
material as a result of its less cost, sturdy and
simple to deal and to figure with.AAC Blocks are
eco-friendly building material gives a potential
solution to a building construction.

Concrete blocks and clay bricks have a lot of
differentiation in the mixture and other
structural quality in the usage that most people
are not aware of Consequently, you find that in
some cases the material picked between the two
ends up not being fit for the project in terms of
both pricing and design.

Benefits Of Using AAC Blocks For Construction
Industry Lightweight ACC blocks are units 1/3rd
of a loading of standard clay bricks in building
construction. It minimizes excess dead load on
the base,walls and the support construction of
your home. Lightweight block buildings are safer
in an earthquake. Buildings infrastructure which
includes AAC Concrete Blocks as a building
material does not necessitate separate sound
protection products because AAC Blocks itself
acts as an anti-sound material this is the reason
most of technologist and architects most
preferable building material in commercial
enterprise.

Only the reason AAC Blocks are lightweight
material that offers you excellent sound
insulation, decrease noise pollution in the
leading metropolis. As Light Weight Bricks are
made with different compositions which allows you
can be cut, drill, chiseled, drawn, nailed and
also be molded in accurate dimensions. AAC
Blocks guard your home and residential property
with flame resistant. The frozen point of Cement
Blocks is above 1600Celsius (more than double
the median temperature in a building fire of
650C). Therefore, it can stable up to 4 to 6
hours time period depending on the thickness of
the block.

Lightweight Concrete Blocks are non-toxic. They
do not discharge any type of fumes nor irritants
during manufacturing, installation and when in
use. It does not absorb moisture hence is
microbe-free ultimately giving you better air
quality. AAC is capable of withstanding harsh
climatic conditions and remains unaffected for
many years. Additionally, Aerated Concrete
Blocks are reusable, renewable and recyclable and
useful. ACC blocks are made from Fly Ash and
therefore are Eco-Friendly Bricks. With all on
the top of benefits, AAC blocks are greatly price
effective as compared to the clay bricks. Because
it reduces all the standard dead and uncalled-for
construction practices.
