AAC vs Red Bricks?

However, as the population grew, so did the demand for red bricks. Fertile land must be sacrificed to meet the rising demand for red bricks, which India, as a developing country, cannot afford. In addition, the red bricks are becoming more expensive because to a scarcity of competent labour and the rising cost of kiln fuel. As a result, different brick solutions were investigated in order to balance the demand and supply of bricks.

  1. AAC vs Red Bricks?

  2. The foundation of the wall is made out of bricks. The bricks determine the wall's strength and durability, and ultimately the entire structure. Red bricks are the most frequent and oldest variety of brick. Red bricks are popular because to their easy availability, durability, low cost, convenience, and feasibility. However, as the population grew, so did the demand for red bricks. Fertile land must be sacrificed to meet the rising demand for red bricks, which India, as a developing country, cannot afford. In addition, the red bricks are becoming more expensive because to a scarcity of competent labour and the rising cost of kiln fuel. As a result, different brick solutions were investigated in order to balance the demand and supply of bricks.

  3. AAC Blocks are lightweight masonry blocks or larger planks and panels that can be cut into masonry blocks and the size of AAC Blocks is rather uniform, and there is no coarse aggregate phase. Whereas, red brick is a tiny block formed of clay ceramic substance that is used in the construction of masonry structures. When compared to AAC blocks, bricks are less homogeneous in size and texture. Fly ash, cement, lime, gypsum, and an aeration agent are mixed together to make AAC blocks. Clay (alumina), sand, lime, iron oxide, and magnesium are used to make traditional red bricks. Bricks are made from naturally occurring soil. As a result, it will ultimately vary depending on the quality of local soil.

  4. AAC blocks are simple to work with and can be cut with common equipment. The force of an earthquake is proportional to the weight of the structure. The building's dead load will be reduced due to the light weight of AAC blocks. As a result, AAC blocks are chosen in seismically active areas.  Red bricks are simple to work with and handle. Raw materials are readily available and plentiful. As a result, it is cost-effective. Red bricks are low-maintenance, long-lasting, sturdy, and long-lasting construction materials. The compressive strength of brick is enough for most construction needs.

  5. AAC Block has a greater production cost per unit. Plaster does not always adhere effectively due of its smooth surface. During the manufacturing process, AAC block construction requires special attention so that the surface does not become too smooth. Whereas construction takes a long time in case of red bricks and in high seismic zones, red bricks cannot be utilized for load-bearing structures.
