What are the Technical Advantages of Brikolite AAC Blocks?

With more and more builders in India shifting to AAC Blocks for construction, it goes without saying that these blocks offer better features than conventional blocks. With high durability, sturdiness, and resistance to fires, earthquakes and water, AAC Blocks are the future of construction.

So what makes Brikolite AAC Blocks worth their mark in the Indian market? Let’s find out.

Technical Advantages of Brikolite AAC Blocks

The technical advantages of Brikolite AAC Blocks will make you switch from conventional building materials in one go. Here’s why we recommend AAC blocks to all our builders in 2022

• AAC Blocks are eco-friendly: Since Brikolite AAC Blocks are made using recyclable raw materials including fly ash, gypsum and aluminium powder into a cement slurry, they help reduce the overall carbon footprint in the manufacturing and construction process. Fly ash is procured as industrial wastage from plants.
  
  Moreover, Brikolite AAC Blocks are qualified for LEED/GRIHA with a high rating point contribution. If you are looking for an eco-friendly establishment, opting for AAC blocks is ideal for your project. They utilise less energy while manufacturing and can also be transported easily due to their lightweight structure.
• They are earthquake resistant: Since AAC blocks are lightweight in nature, they minimise seismic vibrations, mostly suitable for Zone IV and V earthquake vibrations. That’s why they are ideal for construction projects in North East India.
• AAC blocks are fire resistant: AAC Blocks by Brikolite undergo tempering till 180 degrees for up to 8-12 hours/brick to build structural integrity and density. Hence, when they are used as a building material, they are prone to withstand fires as high as 1500 degrees centigrade. Moreover, while being burnt, they do not emit any toxic fuels or substances since they are composed of recyclable material.
• AAC blocks are pest-resistant offering structural integrity: Composed of inorganic material, Brikolite AAC blocks are free from pests. They prevent infestation and termite attacks holding the structural integrity of any building they are used for.
• They offer high acoustic and thermal insulation: Brikolite AAC blocks fall under STC-44(Sound Transmission Class) and offer attenuation for up to 45 to 49dB. Hence, if you are establishing a structure in commercial areas using AAC blocks, the building will naturally be soundproof.
  
  Moreover, AAC blocks offer adequate insulation during drastic weather changes. Thermal insulation maintains the internal temperature throughout, making it useful during both hot and cold temperatures.
• They are water-resistant: Did you know that Brikolite AAC Blocks are also water-resistant? They offer up to 80% resistance from water owing to the microscopic cellular structure of the aerated pores of the bricks. They are ideal for rainy days, and areas susceptible to flooding.

The Takeaway

Brikolite AAC Blocks have become every builder’s choice in North East India owing to their technical advantages. Accessible for any construction project throughout the country, you can choose our AAC Blocks to make modern structures stand their test against time with superior features.
