AAC is a great product but it does present some challenges to work with

I've seen a few people build with AAC. It's strong, energy efficient, and sustainable. However it is a bit expensive to build with and it does take a while to get the knack of working with it. The blocks are also quite heavy, so you really know about it after a day's work. Respect to people who build with it, but I'd prefer to work with SIPs myself.

The Right Stuff

AAC is the only truly green masonry material known to man with superior thermal insulation qualities.

It should be the first material choice for owners, occupants and build professionals seeking significant energy efficiency from their buildings.

See www.aac-nw.com and www.aerblock.com
