These lightweight concrete blocks are 80% air, which explains the name \u201caerated.\u201d The material can be easily shaped and allows for the use of nails and screws. But it\u2019s not as strong as some denser concrete options, so it\u2019s not the best load-bearing concrete and often needs to be reinforced. You\u2019ll also want to seal it with a protective finish to avoid deterioration when exposed to the elements.<\/p>\n
These blocks are white to light gray and can be customized for use in sidewalls, partition walls, and other types of wall construction, as well as for steel pillars and infill panels. They\u2019re available in blocks, panels, and specialty shapes such as lintel blocks and U-shaped bond beam blocks, both of which are available in different thicknesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Aerated autoclaved block, known as AAC block for short, is a lightweight material that offers a high degree of sound and temperature insulation. Its fire resistance and insulating properties make it an appealing choice, though it isn\u2019t as widely available as some other forms of concrete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_surecart_dashboard_logo_width":"180px","_surecart_dashboard_show_logo":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_orders":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_invoices":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_subscriptions":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_downloads":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_billing":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_account":true,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set"},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[23],"product_tag":[21],"class_list":{"0":"post-1077","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-concrete-blocks","7":"product_tag-shop","8":"desktop-align-left","9":"tablet-align-left","10":"mobile-align-left","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"sale","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-simple"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/blakerindustries.com\/blakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Aerated-autoclaved-block.png",561,431,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/blakerindustries.com\/blakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Aerated-autoclaved-block-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/blakerindustries.com\/blakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Aerated-autoclaved-block-300x230.png",300,230,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/blakerindustries.com\/blakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Aerated-autoclaved-block.png",561,431,false],"large":["https:\/\/blakerindustries.com\/blakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Aerated-autoclaved-block.png",561,431,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/blakerindustries.com\/blakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Aerated-autoclaved-block.png",561,431,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/blakerindustries.com\/blakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Aerated-autoclaved-block.png",561,431,false],"woocommerce_thumbnail":["https:\/\/blakerindustries.com\/blakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Aerated-autoclaved-block-300x300.png",300,300,true],"woocommerce_single":["https:\/\/blakerindustries.com\/blakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Aerated-autoclaved-block.png",561,431,false],"woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":["https:\/\/blakerindustries.com\/blakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Aerated-autoclaved-block-100x100.png",100,100,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/blakerindustries.com\/index.php\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Aerated autoclaved block, known as AAC block for short, is a lightweight material that offers a high degree of sound and temperature insulation.
