everything will be very nice
I'd like it better if the panels were interlocking or had metal rods connecting each panel. Maybe both. I'm sure how they built it is just fine but I'd like the security of having each panel fastened together with something other than concrete or mortar. Just my two cents worth.
Hi Nathan Scott, every country (sometimes state) has its onw regulations. This video, shot in the Netherlands, has every 2nd panels anchored to another with a steel plate. You can also do it for every panel but that is fully your prerogative and not required by code normally.
Can it be used as a refractory brick in a kiln, where temperature reaches 1200degree celcius
Dear Kashif, in practice, the fire resistance of AAC is more than ordinary dense concrete. AAC does not support combustion and does not spread fire.. There are some test results that we would like to share with you, can you please reach out to us by sending an e-mail to our info@aircrete.com address?
Nice video, shows the flaws , and some smart beople will bui,d on this structure.
Introduction of graphene to the mix is an ideal option for additional tensile strength.
bit expensive, lots of cheaper fibres already used
Dear Bernard Macarius, sure, however, AAC is in no need really to have more tensile strength. For its application it is used for many years, it perfectly suits as is. Moreover, it is normally a premiumly priced product, compares to its other cement-like alternatives, so adding extra costs will inevitably result in higher sales price for offtakers which is not desirable to say the least.

Does this work for USA code?
I’m trying to get ASTM info on it again today...will post results..have you found anything as to specs?
Dear Kenien Spann, in short, yes but not all. USA has one AAC manufacturer in Florida, called AERCON AAC. Please check their website for detailed information.
Dear builder bubba, see our response below.
Well said Martin, I'm sure that they adhere to all relevant building codes in the countries they operate in. People should look further into the company and designs before making judgement.
Appreciate the wise insight, cannot agree more!
How difficultly is it to set up a small plant and at what cost?
Hello Harvey, can you please send info@airctete.com a short email? So that we can reply you back individually..

It's same to prefabricated method??
Hi Ram, AAC is fully prefabricated at the factory site and then shipped to site for assembly.
Does anyone know if AAC can be used in 3D printing machines and Can it be altered to include recycled plastics to tackle pollution as well as the affordable housing issues?
No, It would be expensive, and required very big vacum oven
Hi Undal Tech, AAC manufacturing is a rather sophisticated production process that requires chemistry of binders, sand and aliminium to act together in a controlled temperature environment. Hence, AAC can be "printed". Standard aerated foam concrete cane be but it is NOT autoclaved and in essence a totally different building material that has limited use.
is this waterproof? if not how do you waterproof aircrete?
Aerated is now waterproof product. You can apply cement for finishing touch for outdoor wall or any other alternatives.
Though it has the superior water permeability and moisture breathable properties. You can waterproof the joint of the ALC panels with a backing Rod and a flexible caulking sealant on top of it. It is also advisable to use a polyurethane spray or over latex paint for the finishing.
What reinforcement do the manufactured items 1:15 each have, for example do the lintel have steel in them?
Dear Mr. Archer, we really like to answer all your questions about AAC, can you please contact us via email? info@aircrete.com
@@AircreteEuropeOfficial What happens to the Aircrete ingredient of Aluminum powder? Has it been tested because it's a known fact in the medical world that Aluminum if it can find a way into the human body acts as a carcinogen. Aluminum is a carcinogen. That's why there's cancer research on people who use deoderants for example that have aluminum in it. Just curious.
@@DylanBegazo The Aluminum powder mixed with the lime slurry is just a catalyst for producing millions of air bubbles in the AAC/ALC initial curing stage thus consuming the aluminium in the process. Further more the cake will be put on a Autoclave Oven producing a chemical reaction the material becomes a new stronger material that occurs in nature called Calcium Silicate Tobermorite (Roman Concrete). Eliminating completely the carcinogen properties of Aluminium powder in the process.

Will it stand up to an earthquake?
There is a tech called ALC Rocking Wall Panel using specialized Fastening System develop in Japan. Yes can withstand Strong Earthquake Tried and Tested for many decades in that region.
Hi Horse237, AAC material on itself is not earthquake proof, just like any other building material. It is the building design that makes structures earthquake proof and yes, AAC is widely used in Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey, etc for (non)load bearing walls for example
how well does this stand up to hurricane's or a branch falling off a tree?
The ALC Wall panel can withstand positive wind force of 2,400 N/m2 and a negative wind force of 1,600 N/m2. Using the Fastening System of a Rocking Wall Method. Easily can comply with strictest building code of any country. Ex: Southern Part of China Hainan Province has the highest +wind load design of 800 N/m2.
This may have been answered already but what are advantages and disadvantages of Aircrete vs ICF???
Having air in the concrete insulates and uses less concrete. But I'm sure for the amount of concrete unless making your own the company will charge even more for the amount of concrete. If a real building with by code affixed panels were built it might still save on construction labor time.
There are many ways to look at it, but in short the pros are: AAC is fully prefabricated at a factory, requires less final finishing, has better fire rating than anything else, pest resistance is very high, it can be shaped and sculpted, super low labor waste due to complete prefabrication, highly environmentally friendly due to 1m3 of raw mats used to produce 4m3 of final product. Finally, an important factor is also system completeness, that is using AAC external, internal walls and floor/roof structures can be built as well as stairs which ICF pretty much walls. One stop shop concept is very appealing in the case of AAC.
hell in my day me and two other carpenters could fame and dry in a house this size in 4 days... three guys, no crane fast and easy..with electric and plumbing done too..and if we where in a hurry we could have the roof guys in while we made sure all the little things were done like sheet rock backing and other things.. sheetrock guys after that usually two days then painting and finish work, cabinets and move in.. I don't know I am an old carpenter and contractor.. and it is hard for us to accept new things without some time to see how it works.. does the house breath right? is there going to be a mold problem? will the sun damage the exterior of the house in time? What will happen if there is an earthquake? Well the future is yours..keep watch, be diligent, and love like there is not tomorrow..
Dear tinkmarshino, thank you for the valuable comments. To answer short, the AAC material breathes yes, provided you apply a breathable stucco/paint. Mold is not an issue as it is completely inorganic material. On the sun damage, again the material itself wont be affected by the exterior finish for sure with time will (AAC should not be left unfisinhed, just like any other material).
The disregard for the health and safety of the operatives is beyond belief. The lack of any form of keying/connection between the panels - other than a dab of adhesive mortar - is let's say - worrying...
Dear Alan, H&S is really something that every country imposes and its enforcement is another issue, every contractor is different. As to the lack of connection between panels, there are steel sheets and anchors between panels and more can be introduced depending on the design. The house design did pass all regulatory approvals and Netherlands is pretty strict on these things. We invite you to come and visit and see for yourself that the houses are as safe as they can be!
i do not feel comfortable with multiple story building out of these panels.... we could feel ok with single story...
Dear Outdoor Eng, of course if AAC is a new material to you, it would be uncomfortable. But, be rest assured, with available supply and architects/specifyers understanding the material, there will be no doubts. Every material has it given physical properties that we all rely on and AAC has hers which are long defined, easily allowing to build multiple story housing.
This material is not water proof. It takes on water like a sponge. Which is the main reason I'd never use it.
Just put a good sealer on it.
Dear In Cognito, if left unfisnihed, of course it will take in water. Wouldnt any other material do that? AAC requires adequate finishing just like any interior/exterior flooring/walling solution to avoid moisture penetration.
Is there some positive mechanical locking of the walls and floors? (Against pressure in both directions, high winds and domestic explosions.) We've seen what happens when gravity's the only thing holding structures together.
Dear Parrot Raiser, to answer short, yes there are steel anchors holding the panels together. Remember this video represents just one house design in the Netherlands, where there are no natural disasters prevalent. However, AAC is used arodun the world so depending where you are, sure your local AAC producer can inform you on how it can and cannot be used.
If it is used in the u.s. ,I haven't seen it.
Dear Peters Right but, AAC is not very popular in the US as yet, mainly due to scarce availability. There is 1 factory in Florida (www.aerconaac.com) that is producing it since late 90's and has supplied many projects, primarily in the south east of course.
I wonder how much the crane costs?
more than the house
What's the lime, please?
limestone
Dear Ozi Sie, the lime used in the production process is quick burnt non-hydrated lime, reach in CaO (advised >92%). It has to be in a pulverized form already which is gained by dry milling limestone.
cutting into the walls for electrical and plumbing is so mickey mouse. best would be to have all channels included in panels by plan design. also I agree with others here, both horizontal and vertical joints need attachment, whether by pins or tongue and groove or at least H shaped inserts. I doubt if a single story home built like this would be safe to live in, let alone a 2 story house. As far as I can see in this video, only the weight and shape of the roof is holding this structure together. I doubt if any USA city or town would permit this house .
Dear @A native Irishman, lightweight precast panels (AAC panels) have embedded steel reinforcement for additional structural strength. AAC panel building complies with existing US building regulations and is currently successfully used across the US (see www.aerconaac.com).
Good information

Will Airkrete stand up to an earthquake?
Uh, nice try. That Aluminum powder used in the creation of Aircrete.... That needs to be tested because aluminum is a carcinogen nomatter the vector for how it's introduced into the human body. Does Aircrete produce vapors when in contact with sunlight or heat? If vapors are produced do those vapors contain aluminum?
AAC is non-toxic and does not emit any gasses. Hence, no vapors detrimental to humas health are produced. AAC is used since the 1930's first in Europe and by now in virtually every country in the world. All tests have been performed and all approvals on every level long received.
Is THAT the way you build in the UK?
Dear Ion-Christopher DiMeglio, this building was constructed in the Netherlands. It is in full compliance with the latest EU regulations.
BTW you can not stand on the TOP rung of any ladder as per our laws =( Love the design and expertise here tho =)
i would still want some glue in the joints
in an earthquake that shit would fall into pieces. there is no steel tying it together
Dear Beachnative42, In the Netherlands, where this video is shot, there are no earthquake risks nor requirements. Therefore the structure might look light to some viewers. The method of designing and building AAC structures changes for each country.Actually, AAC is a very popular building material in Japan which is known for its earthquakes. Actually, low weight of the panels and therefore the buildings is a positive factor in earthquake-proof design. Please feel free to contact us for more questions.
Inclusion of glass fiber in the mix would raise its shear and tensile strength.
James Logan SO WOULD PAPER FIBER LOL
@@srspammenot No spam, no it wouldn't. Glass wouldn't deteriorate, cellulose fibers would eventually.
How easy is it to to drill and saw. Would it be secure enough not to be broken(sawn) into?
Dear Victoria, it is very easy to drill and saw in it. However, one of course has to understand what thicknesses of walls are. Workability of AAC is one of it's great advantages.
Talk about crappy construction. An Earthquake, hurricane or tornado and these houses would fall to pieces.
eps dome house can be best choice. think about it
Dear Patrick, the design of the house determines its ability to withstand natural disasters. This video showcases a house in the Netherlands and of course it would be built (read: designed first) differently elsewhere. However, the fact that AAC is used for decades in walling and flooring from Japan to Mexico shows nothing simply falls to pieces.
I love the concept of AirCrete. However, you have to be joking the way they put the panels together. They wouldn't withstand a hurricane or tornado of any seriousness, and an earthquake would likely be a disaster. You might as well super glue them together. Good luck living in that place.
I guess you, like many others, failed to see that the panels are in fact pinned together at the top as well as joined with mortar. Making this a sound structure.
haha mortar does noting with lateral forces
Dear Michael, the design of the house determines its ability to withstand natural disasters. This video showcases a house in the Netherlands and of course it would be built (read: designed first) differently elsewhere. However, the fact that AAC is used for decades in walling and flooring from Japan to Mexico shows nothing simply falls to pieces.
The material seems interesting. Building codes in Europe are supposedly higher than in USA. Where are the specifications, engineering reports. I can not believe that some glue is going to hold those panels together in an earthquake, hurricane or tornado. Due to ground shifting, swelling from moisture and shrinking from excessive dryness many homes develop cracks, walls shift. This could be a major problem. There appear to be no penetrations for plumbing, elwctrical, or HVAC. Drilling holes would weaken this material possibly introduce cracking. Daytime heating will cause that material on the outside of the building to expand ( even slightly ) at a different rate than the interior. This will cause shearing. There appear to be no expansion joints.
AAC has been in use since 1924: www.structuremag.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/C-Building-Blocks1.pdf
Scott Hertzog thank you I see now that this material is subjected to a high pressure steam to cure it. The DIYers are not doing that. That would make a big difference in its structural characteristics.
I guess you, like many others, failed to see that the panels are in fact pinned together at the top as well as joined with mortar. Making this a sound structure.
I found this material from a DIYer video where they were making it with a foam machine. It was not steam treated. Mis thinking that this material was made the same way. I have seen concrete that was not well done deteriorate over time. Small pores in concrete or masonry materials allow water to collect. In semi cold climates where freeze/thaw cycles happen several times in one season. Water gets in the pores freezes expands melts. After several years this results in spalling. Then it just keeps getting worse. Reading that the material was steam autoclaved for curing makes this a much better product. The glued joints seem to hold although I live in an area where the soil dries and soaks in different times of the year causing significant structural movement. Foundation repair is a big business in North Texas. I will be doing more research. This is an interesting product.
Scott Hertzog ...Any specs here in the United States that are published?
Why did they not use inter-locking panels. Just make the forms different. I think the dome homes I seen built out of this stuff is far better than just stacked panels beside and on top of each other. I pray they didn't pay any "engineer" a bunch of money for this design. I'm with everyone else HOUSE OF CARDS
Dear Rameus, the design of the house determines its ability to withstand natural disasters. This video showcases a house in the Netherlands and of course it would be built (read: designed first) differently elsewhere. However, the fact that AAC is used for decades in walling and flooring from Japan to Mexico shows nothing simply falls to pieces. Dome houses you are referring to are made of simple foamed concrete, which is not steam cured (ie. autoclaved). That material has many disadvantages, starting with shrinking to begin with. Hence, I urge you to understand what is Autoclaved Aerated Concrete in detail and you will discover that it has its merits everywhere in the world as it has been used like that since the 1940's.
Don't build with this crap in an Earthquake Zone, it will collapse, it has no lateral strength, or reinforcing, this will not meet Code in BC, Canada.
Dear G H, the design of the house determines its ability to withstand natural disasters. This video showcases a house in the Netherlands and of course it would be built (read: designed first) differently elsewhere. However, the fact that AAC is used for decades in walling and flooring from Japan to Mexico shows nothing simply falls to pieces. Note, panels are always reinforced (mesh or cage inside the panels themslves is untroduced at the factory - see our production videos) which makes the panels load bearing. Hence, I urge you to understand what is Autoclaved Aerated Concrete in detail and you will discover that it has its merits everywhere in the world as it has been used like that since the 1940's. Canada's loss not to have AAC available there till date.
Super cool
None of this would be acceptAble under current building code in the USA. No attaching clips no rebar between panels. Take it from a Florida building contractor. Needs major revisions and no one has the special lifting equipment.
Jay Blasi would building small sheds like maybe a small tool shed out of this be a good idea
Edgar Barragan = it depends on the coat of the finished panel but I would still embed hurricane straps in each panel. Top and bottom. This system is fine if panels can be strapped to the floor and roof to the wals.
Thank you for your thoughtful & useful input! You clearly have 1st hand experience with the topic! The material seems promising, but this particular application scares me a bit...
SO change the system is whats on the table here..old system must go~

Hello, Very nice building technique. I have some questions: 1.- Do you make curved panels with Aircrete to build a Monolithic Dome like in this video? ua-cam.com/video/hZcyRklGhvY/v-deo.html They use EPS which is a very convenient material to work with, but unfortunately it is hazardous for health. 2.- What would be the approximated cost for a 20 feet Monolitich Dome including the foundation? 3.- Do you have a dealer in Spain? Best regards
It's like a log cabin, except easier.
How does this construction material compare with sip construction? The latter is much lighter,and has excellent insulation properties,and goes up fast as well. There have been sip homes that have survived tornadoes/hurricanes while the neighbouring stick built homes have been destroyed.
There are many ways to look at it, but in short the pros are: AAC is fully prefabricated at a factory, costs typically less per ft2, has better acoustical properties (AAC is UL listed UL #924), has much better fire rating than anything else (4hrs on 8in), pest resistance is very high, it can be shaped and sculpted, same low waste on site due to complete prefabrication, highly environmentally friendly due to 1m3 of raw mats used to produce 4m3 of final product. However both systems have right to exist, or better put to co-exist as SIP has similar merits too.
Try a plunge router for the wire channels
no rebar no backing just mortor mix to hold taht thing together the first pice of debris form a cat 3 hurricane and those walls will buckle and you have to chip out for electric and the roof is nothing more then sips panels which wont survive a hurricane then you say it only took two days your full of shit watch the surroundings ot took more like 5 days and thats just the out side stop lying to poeple and do it right pour it all in place with rebar other wise you have a house that will fall after the first hurricane hits it i live in fl that house wouldnt make it here
Dear Mr. Torruella, thank you for your comment. You are right that 2 days is only the time to install the AAC panels structure, not starting from scratch (i.e. foundation and finishing excluded). As for hurricane resistance, AAC panels are successfully used in hurricane-proof building applications in Japan, Mexico, Indonesia, etc. (in this case additional rebar is installed and the building is anchored to the ground). In the video we show an application in the Netherlands where it was not required by building code nor by the architect.
Very helpful response & explanation! Thank you!
It would blow away with the other , engineered, code built, reinforced, modern houses.
Blow this stuff into a shell with a hopper and you would have something. As is,,,it's just another square, boxy, inefficient kit house. arghhh!
