AAC House in Beaufort, SC


Gorgeous home under construction with SafeCrete autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks and panels.
AAC provides both structure and insulation for exterior and interior walls and floors of this home.
The walls will eventually be covered with finish materials.

Jumbo Blocks


Another photo of the airport project. Note how AAC blocks are used for interior and exterior walls, with AAC panels for the floors. Each room is a soundbox and firebox, protected not only from outside elements but also from the neighbors.

Jumbo Blocks


Jumbo blocks are a great product for those occasions when you want to install a lot of material quickly, but do not want to pay more for custom-manufactured panels. The small blue cranes in those photo (available at http://www.aactools.com/) are used to set the blocks in place.

This project is a hotel near an airport, where the sound-attenuating qualities of AAC will be greatly appreciated.
