The Autocated Aeroted Concrete (AAC) material was developed in 1924 in Sweden. It has become one of the most used building materials in Europe and is rapidly growing in many other countries around the world.
Green is Autocated Aeroted Concrete (AAC) is a lightweight, Load-bearing, High-insulating, Durable building product which is produced in a wide range of sizes and strengths. AAC Block is lightweight and compare to the red bricks AAC blocks are three times lighter.
AAC Blocks are the ideal building material for constructing earthquake-resistant, steady & safe buildings. Owing to their excellent load-bearing capacity, compressive strength and high ductility, such structures can better withstand tremors and shocks.
Green Block confirms to Seismic Zone IV & V statutory requirements.
Generally speaking, the seismic performance of AAC Blocks was clearly demonstrated when a major earthquake hit the Kobe region of Japan in 1995; buildings made out of AAC Blocks suffered minimal damage and also did not allow fire to spread rapidly.
As Green Block is characterized by superior thermal insulation, these blocks enable to maintain optimal ambient temperature; the air inside is warm during winters and cool during summers. Residents end up with around 30% saving in AC costs.
• No need for insulation
• Low heat transfer rate
• Superior to traditional wood & masonry structures
Compared to conventional clay bricks, Green Block has lesser capillary action resulting in lower water retention. Hence rainwater water/ dampness from the outside does not seep inside. They are ideally suited for areas with heavy rainfall and high humidity.
Green Block is endowed with amazing sound insulation properties because of their inherent porous structure. This makes them the ideal building material for residential construction as well as silence zones, such as hospitals, schools, auditoriums, studios, etc.
• Excellent sound shielding at no extra cost
• Shields external irritable sounds, such as machinery & equipment
• Offers more privacy & peace for residents
A unique property of Green Block is that it contains water in crystalline form, which acts as a heat sink, absorbing heat and converting it into steam. The Green Block structure allows this steam to escape without causing surface spalling.
• Excellent fire-resistance
• Ability to withstand fire from 2 hours up to 6 hours
• No toxins/harmful gases emitted when fire breaks out
Green Block is made from inorganic, non-biodegradable materials that do not allow termites/pests to inhabit or grow within its structure.
Owing to its inherent nature and structure, Green Block brings incredible flexibility to the design of a building, which is simply not possible with traditional materials.
• Practically infinite workability
• Hassle-free manipulation (sawing, drilling, etc.)
• Amenable to quick & easy field adjustments
• Blocks available without or without handholds
• Ideal for all terrains & climatic conditions – humid, dry, wet and cold
