Conventional red bricks are heavy, labour-intensive, and poor in energy efficiency. These limitations often extend project timelines, increase costs, and drive up electricity bills. In crowded urban areas, where efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness are critical, such disadvantages make red bricks less suitable.
Builders and homeowners are therefore turning to modern alternatives that combine strength, durability, and sustainability. One such material rapidly gaining popularity is the flyash AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) block. Their unique properties address many of the challenges in urban construction, making it a superior choice for high-quality, cost-efficient, and eco-friendly projects.
Faster construction with lower labour costs
Shree Flyash AAC Blocks are more cost-effective than clay bricks, as they weigh up to eight times less and need only one-third of the joints. This reduces the use of mortar and steel, while also cutting manpower required to strengthen the foundation. Their lightweight nature makes them easier to handle, reducing physical strain on workers and speeding up construction. This efficiency helps projects stay on schedule and cuts labour costs significantly.
Superior thermal and acoustic insulation
The porous structure of flyash AAC blocks, filled with tiny air pockets, provides excellent natural insulation.
- Energy efficiency: Buildings stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter, reducing reliance on
air conditioning or heating. This leads to lower energy bills. - Soundproofing: Their sound-absorbing properties make interiors quieter, an important
advantage in noisy urban environments.
This dual benefit creates more comfortable and sustainable living or working spaces
Lightweight with structural and safety benefits
Flyash AAC blocks weigh about one-third of traditional bricks. This reduces the overall structural load of the building, allowing savings on foundations and steel reinforcement—particularly valuable in high-rise construction. Their lightweight also makes transportation more economical and improves site safety, as workers handle materials with less strain and reduced risk of injury.
Environmentally friendly and sustainable
Flyash AAC blocks are much more environmentally friendly and sustainable than traditional brick materials. These blocks use 70% less water in construction due to the absence of curing. Made from recycled fly ash, flyash AAC blocks also help reduce environmental impact by lowering energy consumption, reducing carbon emissions, and minimizing construction waste.
Fire and pest resistance
Safety is a critical factor in modern construction. Flyash AAC blocks are non-combustible and offer fire resistance of up to six hours, depending on thickness. Their inorganic composition makes them resistant to pests like termites and prevents mould growth, ensuring healthier and more durable structures.
Enhances safety on construction sites
The importance of safety on a construction site cannot be overstated. Flyash AAC blocks are not only lighter but also easier to handle, which significantly reduces the physical strain on workers. Their reduced weight makes lifting and positioning safer, which minimizes the risk of injuries on-site.
- Add point on preferred choice of Architects
- The finish of the blocks is very smooth, wherefore reducing the need for additional finishing of the
walls.
