Aercon AAC Blocks vs. Clay Bricks
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete(AAC) Blocks are made out of Fly ash, Cement, Lime, Gypsum, Aluminium Powder & Water. Making these blocks does not cause any environmental pollution. Talking about AAC blocks, we can say that these blocks are smooth and almost 8 times bigger than the normal bricks and yet, lighter than the normal bricks by a huge margin.
The bricks made are of a typical size and they do not have much strength as compared to that of AAC blocks. These blocks manufactured by us at Aercon India are of lesser joints and hence require less of mortar. Let us look at the table to see how AAC blocks are different from the clay burnt bricks.
