COMPARISON OF AAC BLOCK AND RED
BRICKS
Sr.No Parameters AAC Blocks Bricks
1 Saving in steel 15-20% No saving in
steel
2 Quality Uniform Quality due to Non-Uniform
mass production in the Quality
factory
3 Compressive strength 30-35 Kg/cm2 20-25 Kg/cm2
4 Cement Consumption Less consumption of More
Mortar due to flat consumption of
surfaces Cement due to
uneven
Column & Beam size surfaces
reduced and so less NO saving in
Concrete Required Concrete
5 Labor Less labors required More labors
Required required
6 Sizes Available in sizes of 3", 4", 5", Available in 4", 6",
available 6" 8",9" thickness 8" & 9" thickness
7 Carpet area More Carpet area is available Less carpet area
in same built-up area due to available due to
less widths of walling more width of
walling
8 Construction Speedy construction due to its Slow
time big size constructions due
to small size
9 Chemical Fly ash used app. 60 % which Soil is used which
Composition reacts with binders(Lime & contains many
Cement) to form AAC which is inorganic
an inert material impurities like
sulphates etc
which results in
efflorescence
10 Energy 30 % (app.) i.e. Air-condition No Saving
saving Load both heating and cooling
will come down.
11 Additional 1. Light weight ( Density 650
Propertie Kg/m3).
