Brikolite AAC Blocks are lightweight, reducing dead load on structures and minimizing steel consumption. Their precise shape ensures minimal plaster usage, resulting in significant cost savings.
Brikolite AAC Blocks offer high compressive strength. Steam curing under high pressure provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio that exceeds Indian Building Code requirements.
These blocks are worker-friendly and can be easily cut, grooved, and shaped like wooden planks. This flexibility speeds up construction, reduces labor costs, and ensures easy installation.
Due to their lightweight nature and quick setting time, Brikolite AAC Blocks significantly reduce construction time and improve overall project efficiency.
AAC Blocks contribute to green building certifications like LEED and GRIHA. They reduce energy consumption, lower carbon footprint, and improve thermal insulation, making buildings more energy-efficient.
Easy handling, faster wall erection, reduced mortar usage, and minimal wastage make installation quicker and more economical compared to conventional bricks.
Being lightweight, Brikolite AAC Blocks absorb and transmit minimal seismic forces, making them suitable for seismic Zones IV & V, including North-East India.
The unique cellular structure of AAC Blocks withstands temperatures up to 1500°C and offers fire resistance for 4–5 hours without emitting toxic fumes.
Made from inorganic materials, Brikolite AAC Blocks resist termites, pests, and insects, ensuring safer and longer-lasting structures.
| Parameter | AAC Block | Clay Bricks |
|---|---|---|
| Structural Cost | Steel saving up to 15% | No saving |
| Cement Mortar for Plaster & Masonry | Requires less due to flat, even surfaces & less number of joints | Requires more due to irregular surface and more number of joints |
| Breakage | Less than 5% | Average 10 to 12% |
| Construction Speed | Speedy construction due to its big size, light weight & easy to cut in any size or shape | Comparatively slow |
| Quality | Uniform & consistent | Normally varies |
| Fitting & Chasing | All kind of fitting and chasing possible | All kind of fitting and chasing possible |
| Carpet Area | More due to less thickness of walling material | Comparatively low |
| Availability | Anytime | Shortage in monsoon |
| Energy Saving | Approx. 30% reduction in air-conditioned load | No such saving |
| Chemical Composition | Sand/Flyash used around 60–70% which reacts with Lime & Cement to form AAC | Soil is used which contains many inorganic impurities like sulphates etc. resulting in efflorescence |
