ADVANTAGES OF
STÄRKEN AAC
AAC products are becoming the preferred building products for constructing residential, hotel, industrial and public buildings because of its natural composition and non-toxic property, saves energy and environmental friendly. AAC products possess the durability characteristics similar to normal concrete or stone, yet with workability better than wood.
AAC products are made using slurry mix containing cement, sand, lime and aerating agent. The slurry is poured and moulded to form lightweight blocks, panels and lintels upon which are cured in autoclave. The high-pressure steam-curing mechanism in the autoclave facilitates the curing process of the moulded lightweight concrete, producing physically and chemically stable products that weigh about 1/5 of normal concrete. AAC products contain millions of tiny non-connecting air pockets yielding superior thermal insulation property. AAC products are typically installed to form walls, floors and roofs.
Incredibly Light
STÄRKEN AAC’s density is about 1/5th of that of normal concrete blocks, making it easy to handle.
Excellent Thermal Insulation & Energy Savings
STÄRKEN AAC’s excellent thermal insulation properties result in improved comfort level and saves heating and cooling costs.
Environment Friendly
Due to its non-toxic properties, STÄRKEN AAC helps reduce at least 30% of environmental waste and 50% of greenhouse radiation.
Strong & Durable
History of usage dated more than 50 years protecting building envelopes and remain durable even under extreme weather conditions.
Savings Through Value Engineering
The factors of quality, cost, and time saves building structure costs with your building structure in the long run.
Excellent Workability
STÄRKEN AAC can be easily sawn, cut, carved, nailed or drilled using ordinary hand tools.
Cost Efficient Construction
Savings due to less materials, less manpower, less waterproofing & sound insultation, and more.
Superior Fire Rating
More superior than traditional masonry products and has a fire resistance up to 4 hours (nominal block thickness of 100mm).
Superior Fire Rating
Scientifically proven to provide better insulation to sound transmitted by air compared with other solid building materials.
