Basic Building Materials Auscrete aerated concrete is a light-weight cement/sand product that has a specially developed foaming agent applied during manufacture. This enables the product to have millions of small air bubble ‘aggregates’ introduced and evenly distributed throughout the cast sections. Then there is the XPS insulation amalgamation with the final result being a concrete that is light, strong, of extremely high insulation value and is highly fire resistant. It also has excellent sound proofing qualities. |
FIRE RESISTANT Totally incombustible, Auscrete AC offers much greater fire protection than that of normal concrete. It is Ideal for firewalls and also provides excellent fire protection for structural steel. |
LIGHTWEIGHT In its standard density of 90 - 105 lbs. per cu. ft., the weight of Auscrete AC is almost one half that of normal concrete. Panels can be handled with ease making it economical to transport in large sections. |
STRONG Auscrete AC has a high strength to weight ratio. Standard sections have a mean compressive strength in excess of 2,500 psi. when fully cured. It allows Architects and engineers new design and constructions concepts. |
THERMAL INSULATION AAC's insulation is much greater than normal concrete. Expensive energy is saved by Auscrete AC as it cuts both heating and air conditioning needs offering greater comfort in a wide range of climatic conditions. |
SOUND REDUCTION Auscrete AC provides excellent sound reduction, superior to that of a number of commonly used building materials. Auscrete AC designers have achieved considerable sound reduction in independent panelized system tests. |
WORKABILITY Nails can be driven and electric routers can be used to groove for electrical conduits and plumbing and the material can be sawn. Fixing of all joinery, hand basins and other fittings is fast and simple. |
Our AFFORDABLE homes fully built and turnkey (move in ready) range from only $100,000 for 1,000 sq. ft. to $250,000 for a 2,500 sq. ft. house. |
