I am a civil engineer with 36 years field experience. AAC blocks are good only if used properly. 1.Dont not use AAC blocks immediately on unloading. Keep at least 1 week in dry shaded area, with plenty of airflow 2. Do only 4 layers a day 3. Use only recommended adhesive, mixed mechanically and thickness of 3mm over blocks 4. Don't not cure with water 5. Provide continuous reinforcement Sill mat at 4rth block level and Continuous rc lintel 6. Do not rest beam of roof on blocks. Leave a gap of 1/2"..and ideally fill with PU foam 7. Have vertical ties for length greater than 6 m ( 20') 8. If possible build walls in top floors first and lower floors last 9. Use glass fibre mesh at all joints between concrete and block when Plastering 10. Always wait at least 2 weeks minimum before Plastering.. which can be cured 11. Groove cutting to be done only with cutter blade. 12. Apply putty ONLY after Plastering is fully cured and dried Follow all of the above and you will have a crack free ECONOMICAL building
Thank you sir. I've read the manufacturer guidelines and you are correct. I also make a tie beam every 4 block layer. I have a question however on the 4th suggestion. When you say do not cure wirt water what do you mean. I pour some water on them to clean the dust and offer some moisture. Otherwise the adhesive will dry fast and gives me little to no time working the block. Is this wrong?
Which brick is cost effective - Porotherm bricks or AAC blocks? Which of these will reduce the heat and also which of these are earthquake resistant as many places in India are experiencing earthquake ? Can you please do a video explaining the differences between both of these bricks and reasons for you to suggest which one is the best? Also can we do gypsum plastering on these two bricks in order to avoid the usage of cement completely , its cost and heat absorption of cement? Hope to get a reply from you.
I agree with most parts , although there's a few sections I disagree with AAC has a embodied energy level of 3.6MJ/KG while clay is 2.5MJ/KJ , where I live bricks have a 100 year manufacture warranty and AAC a 20 year manufacture warranty , this is a concern .
after further investigations , I've figured out that the difference is in the volume , brick uses around 55 percent more energy when you measure it by the space it takes up , although this still doesn't change my longevity concerns .
Nice.. very useful information bro.. i have 2 question I am planning to construct independent house G floor only 1800sft 2bed room. 1) Can i use AAC blocks only to complete total construction. If yes please mention the suggested dimensions of AAC blocks for both Internal Partician Walls and external Outer walls. 2) I heard after few years AAC construction will start cracking. If it's yes how to prevent it cracking. Looking for your response thanks in Advance..

V. Good u did not discrbe about using chemical for making wall in aac block. In bricks using sand and cement but in aac block there is special chemical?
Good information...But aaj blocks usage has a taboo among the clients as they feel that it is inferior to clay bricks...May be because of the earlier experience of cement blocks...So it is a major challenge about how to convince clients about such a good green product....I am a builder working in small towns...

Is it good for making home becoz many people say that it is good for flats purpose only plzz tell and how much cost it will get to make a 3bhk house from aac block?
You can use it for your home...people say it's good for flat because it's light weight material and decreases the load on building...for working out cost the quantity of AAC masonry is required.
He said that red brick had greater thermal conductivity, but I think he is wrong. I think red brick has greater thermal density. Aside from construction speed and and cost of red brick I would say it's better in every way.
can you or anuone here please tell me what the difference in strength and thermal conductivity is between a hollow concrete block and a solid concrete block , and also if a wall would be stronger or weaker by laying solid blocks on their side?, thanks

What is the price of AAC blocks
Aac block masonry have more cracks compare to brick masonry
Use adhesive chemical
Tks for sharing
Can you please let me know the cost of roofing
Can we used putty on unplaster wall ?? Can it will give smooth finish?
It's not advisable...putty can be applied on plastered or concrete walls...putty fills cracks and creates a base to receive paint
Which app or software are u using to make this video.....????
Is it available in Gaya Bihar
How about durability
Wienerberger clay blocks gives all advantages of aac blocks and most important gives more thermal insulation
He said that red brick had greater thermal conductivity, but I think he is wrong. I think red brick has greater thermal density. Aside from construction speed and and cost of red brick I would say it's better in every way.
Hollow block people use to save money, time, otherwise brick house always best choice
Is it stronger than red brick? Which brick wall would be strong?
Strength wise brick masonry is better but ultimately walls don't take load in RCC framed structure...load will be taken by structural members
