Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) panels are lightweight, steel-reinforced building panels used for external walls, façades, flooring systems, and inter-tenancy walls.
Manufactured from cement, lime, sand, water, and aluminium, AAC panels form a highly aerated internal structure. This creates a material that is significantly lighter than traditional concrete while maintaining structural integrity.
Namely, autoclaved aerated concrete panels contain up to 80% air, allowing them to offer superior acoustic insulation, as well as fire and pest resistance. The panels achieve a rating of not less than 50 dB, providing up to 7 dB more insulation than traditional materials.
Compared to traditional clay bricks, AAC panels are 3–4 times lighter and about 9 times larger, making them up to 30% faster to install. Plus, their compressive strength ranges from 2.5 MPa to 5.0 MPa, allowing them to support structures up to 3 stories high.
Helix AAC panels are specifically engineered for Australian construction conditions, delivering consistent performance across residential, multi-residential, and commercial applications.
