AAC BLOCK- An ECO-Friendly Material
2
In today's era, AAC Block which is known as
Autoclaved aerated concrete is a type of building
material which is lightweight and firm. Lately,
it has become the most embraced construction
material for engineers. It is a product of light
ash which consists of quartz sand, calcined
gypsum, lime, cement, water aluminium powder.
Earlier, the most preferable construction
material was standard red brick whose
manufacturing process vent out carbon-di-oxide
(CO2). AAC Block is an eco-friendly material for
a greener environment which is energy efficient,
durable and thermally insulated and used for
both interior exterior construction.

AAC Block was created developed by a Swedish
architect Dr. Johan Axel Eriksson in 1924. AAC
Block is absorbent, non-toxic, renewable and eco
accommodating construction material that emanates
from modern scrap and is fabricated by utilizing
non-poisonous constituents. AAC Block is also
known as aircrete, as it is a lightweight,
low-pollution output and durable building
material. AAC is a reasonable and eco-friendly
loftier building material as compared to the
conventional material like red brick, wood or
cement, as it is fire and pest resistant. AAC is
a distinctive class of material due to its
magnificent properties like heat, fire and sound
resistance to ascend construction quality by
minimizing cost at the same time at the
construction site.

AAC is convenient for tower block construction
and those with high transposition variations. The
utilization of AAC Block reduces the construction
cost upto 20 as 80 of its volume is air,
depending upon the density and it weighs
approximately around 50 as compared to the
compacting force of standard solid material such
as sand and cement. It has been observed that AAC
Block is helpful in construction of green
buildings such as residential homes, commercial
and industrial buildings, and many other
establishments. AAC is being used worldwide by
architects, engineers and home builders.
