AAC

Unlike fibre cement, which is fire resistant, AAC is classified as non-combustible under the NCC. This makes it a compliant solution for BAL-FZ bushfire sites, Class 2 and above multi-residential buildings, and any project where non-combustibility is a code requirement. CodeMark certification supports builders through the compliance documentation process.

AAC panels weigh a fraction to traditional masonry, reducing structural loads on footings and framing systems. Lighter panels also mean faster handling and installation on site, helping improve productivity and reduce labour and crane time. This makes AAC panel systems - particularly advantageous to multi-storey residential and commercial projects.

The cellular structure of AAC provides inherent thermal resistance and sound attenuation, contributing to improved energy efficiency ratings and acoustic separation between spaces. This makes AAC wall systems a practical specification for party walls in multi-residential buildings and for external walls in climate zones where thermal performance is a priority.

AAC contains no organic material, making them completely resistant to termite attack with no ongoing treatment required. Once installed, AAC wall systems are durable and long-life and low maintenance - an important consideration for developers and building owners managing whole-of-life costs.
