Magicrete AAC Blocks Tested to Save up to 15% Cost in Plaster
Surat, India (PRWEB) March 16, 2014 -- Magicrete introduced AAC or Autoclaved Aerated Concrete blocks save up to 15% cost in plaster and up to 10% cost in mortar in building projects when blocks are utilized in optimum manner. A lightweight, precast building material used as a superior substitute for clay bricks around the world, it has been made available in India by Magicrete in multiple-size blocks and panels.
“Structural walls, sound walls, firewalls, and floor and roof systems, AAC is an ideal material. With a minimum of 8" thickness, the blocks are suitable for load-bearing applications as well. 6'' blocks may be used for some interior loadbearing building applications. Our technical manual deals in detail with design information for several applications,” commented a senior executive with the company.
AAC is now used as highly thermal insulating concrete-based material for internal as well as external construction. Another advantage is quick and easy installation, as the material can be routed, sanded, or cut to size on site deploying standard carbon steel power tools. AAC structures can be coated with a stucco or plaster compound to guard against the elements. Porous structure allows for superior fire resistance while light weight saves cost and energy in transportation. From processing of raw materials to the disposal of waste, resource efficiency supports lower environmental impact.
Using AAC blocks may increase the carpet area as well by 3% to 5% depending on design. The executive explained, “AAC blocks are several times larger than conventional bricks, which means lesser mortar usage. Factory finished with precise edges and shapes, the blocks require substantially less plaster, POP, or Putty finish. This does not just translate into lower costs but increased area as well.”
When it comes to durability and dimensional stability, AAC fly ash blocks performs well. It is a cement-based material, resisting water, mould, rot, mildew and insects. Precisely shaped units conform to tight tolerances. Concealed wiring can be easily installed in AAC walls as well using standard methods.
