Additional Information on AAC

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks and panels

Building for the future with many positive characteristics.

Wehrhahn AAC building

AAC is a high-quality light-weight, load-bearing and extremely well insulating building material produced as standard blocks, mega blocks or panels.

AAC has already successfully been used in Europe since early last century and is now among the mostly used wall building materials in Europe with rapidly growing market shares in many countries, especially in Asia,  America and CIS.

AAC is also known as ALC (Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete), Aircrete, Airstone, Thermostone, Gas Concrete, Cellular Concrete, Porous Concrete and under many brand names like Ytong® or Hebel®, HplusH® or Porit®.

AAC is the material of choice for building applications, such as residential, commercial,  industrial and agricultural buildings, hotels, schools and hospitals, etc., - an excellent building material for all climatic conditions. It is used for all walls, external or internal, loadbearing or non-loadbearing walls, basement walls, infill walls to framed structures, party walls, fire break walls, etc.
