AAC Blocks
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is one of the most sustainable building materials today. Outstanding thermal efficiency and universality of application are the main reasons for the success story of AAC throughout the 20th century. Already today AAC has secured its place in the future of sustainable construction outperforming alternative building materials in natural insulation, fire resistance and eco-friendliness.
The versatility of AAC material and its inherent thermal and acoustic resistance allow it to be used in different climatic zones in a wide range of applications, which cater to the building traditions of many countries. The product can be used in the construction of single- and multifamily social residences, apartment blocks; commercial construction of offices, high-rise structures, hotels, retail stores, warehouses, etc.; and industrial construction of factories, etc.
Blocks made from Autoclave Aerated Concrete (AAC) are used mostly as wall products for internal and external wall making. It is well-known as AAC blocks, which are non-reinforced and are predominantly used as a non-load-bearing material. The benefits of using AAC blocks compared to red clay bricks, fly ash bricks, and concrete blocks are widely known, and AAC blocks have been applied all over the world.
AAC blocks have maintained their popularity throughout the years; many AAC plants have been installed particularly in the last decade and continue.
AAC Blocks
Brixo AAC Blocks manufactured in Gujarat provide many benefits. It is a well-known brand name for quality and durability, which means that the blocks used to build your home will be of high quality and last for many years. While regular concrete blocks are strong but heavy in weight, AAC Blocks are strong but lightweight with 1/3rd the density of clay brick it can be laid much quicker, saving time and building costs. Being more resilient to damage helps reduce wastage during transportation.
AAC Blocks are strong, superlight, non-combustible green building materials resistant to termites, rodents, pests, and fungal growth. These blocks offer effective & practical solutions for the current building regulations and are manufactured using the latest technologies at India’s most advanced AAC facility. It accelerates construction by up to four times compared to clay bricks due to their size, dimensional accuracy, and easy workability. Brixo AAC Blocks are ideal for residential, Institutional, hotel, Industrial, and commercial project applications. Its versatility and lightweight handling make it an ideal material to work with for external and internal walls. Brixo Blocks ensure a safe, durable, and comfortable living environment. The blocks are easy to install, nail, drill and cut for pipes and conduits.
Experience guaranteed savings with Brixo AAC Blocks, reducing building foundation load and power consumption by up to 30%. Enjoy significant savings on steel and cement, with 15% and 12% reductions.

Environment-Friendly
Blocktec AAC blocks are non-toxic, reusable, renewable and recyclable
Super Lightweight
More savings on steel, cement and lesser dead load of the building
Excellent Water Resilient
Provides superior resistance to moisture penetration than concrete hollow blocks
Easy To Install
No more chipping, less rebars & uses only carbide saw for cutting Blocktec AAC Blocks
Exceptional Thermal Insulation
Very low coefficient of thermal conductivity which creates a cooling effect and saves electricity for air conditioning
Excellent Fire Rating
Up to 4 hours Fire Resistance Period(FRP) which means more safety for your family and property
Pest Resistant
Termites and rats avoid AAC because it's made from inorganic materials like cement, water, sand, and aluminum powder.
