7(seven) Advantages OF AAC BLOCK (white bricks) :------
• AAC blocks are available in large sizes and hence less no. of joints. This ultimately results in faster construction on site and less consumption of either cement-mortar or chemical and also increasing the strength of wall.
• Due to light weight of AAC blocks, AAC blocks are preferred in high seismic (earthquake) zones.
• Use of AAC blocks in the multi-storey building can reduce the consumption of steel and concrete. This reduces the dead load on the structure .
• Easy to transport to upper floors.
• Time-saving is possible due to the large size of blocks and less curing required before plaster.
• a very high thermal insulation index which means that the building will remain relatively cooler in summers and warmer in winters.
• It is environment-friendly and also saves water as less curing is required. Hence it is popularly used as a green product.
DISADVANTAGES :------
• The initial production cost of AAC blocks may be more.however, as discussed above, it can reduce the consumption of Steel, Cement, Concrete and labour. Therefore, the whole project cost gets decreased.
•Plaster sometimes does not stick properly because of its smooth surface.AAC block work needs care during production itself, so that surface does not become very smooth.
• AAC blocks are usually dull light grey in colour and are not generally considered as attractive for exteriors for exposed facing.
