A Comparison Between Green AAC Blocks And Red Clay Bricks
Green AAC Block Previously in construction, the red clay bricks were a cheaper option and a go-to material for builders. AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) blocks were introduced, which offered unique features. The blocks were not being used widely for construction due to their high cost. The choice between red clay bricks and AAC blocks was a main decision for builders. Today, the red clay bricks have become 20% more expensive than the AAC blocks due to the industry’s reliance on labour and fuel. The AAC blocks are produced using energy-efficient methods and require less labour and fuel. As the cost of labour and fuel is rising, the AAC blocks offer cost stability. The AAC block has emerged as a cost-effective and practical solution. The AAC blocks are a preferred choice for construction due to their properties like superior thermal insulation, lightweight construction, and fire resistance. The raw materials used to make the blocks are cement, lime, fly ash and aluminium powder. These ...
