FAQs.
Walsc AAC panels are designed for outstanding performance and durability. Our products offer superior fire resistance, thermal insulation, and acoustic properties. Here are answers to the most commonly asked questions about our AAC panel systems.
What is AAC?
AAC stands for Autoclaved Aerated Concrete. It is a lightweight, precast building material that provides structure, insulation, and fire resistance in one product. AAC is made from natural raw materials including sand, cement, lime, water, and a small amount of rising agent.
Is AAC fire rated?
Yes. Walsc AAC panels achieve up to 4 hours of fire resistance depending on panel thickness, making them ideal for fire-rated wall and floor applications in commercial and residential construction.
Is AAC environmentally friendly?
AAC is one of the most sustainable building materials available. Its manufacturing process uses less energy than traditional concrete, and the finished product provides excellent thermal insulation, reducing energy consumption over the life of the building.
How does AAC compare to traditional concrete?
AAC is approximately one-fifth the weight of conventional concrete while offering superior thermal insulation, fire resistance, and acoustic performance. Its lighter weight also reduces structural load requirements and transportation costs.
What is the lifespan of AAC panels?
AAC panels are extremely durable and are designed to last the lifetime of the building. They are resistant to termites, rot, and mould, and do not degrade over time under normal conditions.
Does AAC provide sound insulation?
Yes, AAC has excellent acoustic properties. The cellular structure of the material absorbs sound, making it ideal for party walls, apartments, and buildings where noise reduction is important.
