About AAC blocks

Our Inside Block Story

POV	AAC Blocks	Red bricks
Strength	AAC Blocks can withstand 3500 PSI(pound-force per square inch).	The limit of Clay Bricks is found at 3000 PSI so are slightly weaker.
Appearance	AACs are durable but have a refined surface that can be exposed over time.	Bricks last longer than AACs but they are also prone to chips and cracks.
Flexibility	AAC blocks are extremely versatile and can be used for variety of projects.	Bricks are collectively flexible but individual bricks are difficult to cut.
Weight	AAC blocks are light-weight hence easy to transport and save overall cost.	Bricks are almost twice the weight of AAC Blocks & hence heavy to transport & more difficult to handle.
Overall Cost	AAC blocks are cheaper alternative to conventional clay bricks.	Bricks are more expensive as they are less flexible and require more labor costs.
Environ-friendly	There is no top soil consumption and it emits very low carbon dioxide.	It actually damages environment.

Check that the manufacturing date of AAC Blocks is at least 1 week old.
Stack the blocks on dry, even surface, on planks or other supports at least 1 foot from ground to avoid contact with moisture. Do not stack the blocks in haphazard manner.
Thickness of the mortar / adhesive should not be more than 3mm. AAC Blocks don’t require curing.
Don’t lay more than 6 layers(200mm) of blocks in a day.
Use RCC Band / Runner (100 -150 mm) for every 1200mm/ 4 ft. height.
The thickness of the external & internal plasters should not be more than 15 mm and 10 mm respectively.
The lintel should be placed on a complete block.
Place the blocks vertically into position as this prevents the mortar from being displaced.
Install electrical & sanitary chases before plastering the wall.
