中文Autoclaved Aerated Blocks
Lightweight autoclaved aerated blocks in sizes from 10cm to 30cm. Lighter than standard blocks, reducing structural load. Better thermal and sound insulation.
Usage
Autoclaved blocks are used for interior and exterior walls, especially on upper floors to reduce structural load. Ideal for projects requiring good thermal insulation per Saudi building code requirements.
Key Features
- 50-60% lighter than standard blocks
- Excellent thermal and sound insulation
- Reduces structural load
- Easy to cut and shape on site
Available Types
10cm
15cm
20cm
25cm
30cm
Frequently Asked Questions
Can autoclaved blocks bear loads like standard blocks?
Autoclaved blocks have lower compressive strength than standard blocks, so they are not used for load-bearing walls. They are used for non-load-bearing walls and partitions. For load-bearing walls, standard blocks are preferred.
Does autoclaved block meet Saudi building code insulation requirements?
Autoclaved blocks provide good thermal insulation but alone may not meet all Saudi building code requirements. For full insulation compliance, insulated blocks or an additional external insulation layer is recommended.
How does autoclaved block pricing compare to standard?
Autoclaved blocks are about 30-50% more expensive than standard blocks depending on size. However, they save on thermal insulation costs and structural load. Contact us for a detailed quote.
