The Advantages of Autoclaved Aerated ConcreteĪutoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks bring many unique advantages to buildings including durability, energy efficiency, and safety. After the concrete sets, the blocks are molded into perfectly dimensioned units for use on construction sites. The autoclave applies heat and pressure to the blocks for at least 12 hours to strengthen the block for use in construction.Ī finished autoclaved aerated block contains more than 80% air. Once the blocks are shaped, the forms are removed and the block is sliced before being placed in an autoclave. The expansion agent causes the “mix” to expand and rise just like baking bread in the oven. Made from fine aggregates, cement, and an expansion agent, autoclaved aerated concrete blocks are lightweight versions of concrete blocks. A diverse fleet of delivery vehicles equipped with the latest boom, off-road forklift, and transport equipment is available to ensure fast shipment and correct placement by the most cost-effective means possible.What Are Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks?
