The product
One block, four things it saves you
AAC is concrete with air in it. That single fact is why it cuts weight, cuts cooling load and cuts site labour — all at the same time.
01
Lighter walls
Far less dead load than dense block or brick, so columns, beams and foundations can be sized down — or the same structure carries more floors.
02
Cooler rooms
The air pockets slow heat flow. In Dar es Salaam that shows up as a lower cooling load and a steadier indoor temperature.
03
Faster walls
Large-format blocks go up with fewer joints and less mortar than small masonry units. Fewer joints also means less plaster to level.
04
Less plaster
Block faces are true to ±1 mm, so the wall takes 3–5 mm of plaster instead of 15–20 mm. That is cement and sand you do not buy.
Three ranges
One site, three product lines
Blocks, sealants and aluminium are made or finished in the same park. A project can buy the wall, the joint and the window frame from one supplier.
