Is AAC Block better than standard concrete blocks or bricks?
AAC Blocks outperforms concrete and bricks. AAC Blocks is the only durable, structural, thermal and fire rated material all in one product. For example, in traditional construction, insulation and drywall must be added to make the wall fire rated and thermally compliant. In addition, insulation must be added to masonry to obtain reasonable thermal values. Unlike concrete, AAC Blocks is lightweight, has superior acoustic absorption, is a non-organic material that will not decay or rot and is moisture and pest resistant. In nearly every situation, AAC Blocks is the best building material choice.
