SafeCrete Goes Gothic



Autoclaved aerated concrete blocks provide the structure for this breath-taking abbey in the mountains of Virginia.
















The exterior is finished with olde world stucco and limestone veneer. To read a detailed journal of the ongoing construction complete with gorgeous photos taken on less foggy days, see http://www.syonabbey.org/Building/building.html

Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC), also known as autoclaved cellular concrete (ACC) or autoclaved lightweight concrete (ALC), was invented in the mid-1920s by the Swedish architect and inventor Johan Axel Eriksson. It is a lightweight, precast building material that simultaneously provides structure, insulation, and fire and mold resistance. AAC products include blocks, wall panels, floor and roof panels, and lintels. For more info: http://www.aeratedconcreteblock.com/
