Meghalite AAC Blocks
Meghalite AAC Blocks are lightweight Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks manufactured by a Bengaluru-based company for residential, commercial and institutional construction.
AAC blocks have a cellular structure that provides lower density than conventional masonry materials while offering useful thermal insulation, fire-resistant characteristics and ease of handling during construction.

Key Benefits of Meghalite AAC Blocks
- Lightweight: Lower density can help reduce the dead load of masonry walls compared with conventional masonry materials.
- Thermal insulation: The cellular structure of AAC helps reduce heat transfer through walls.
- Fire resistance: AAC is an inorganic and non-combustible masonry material with fire performance dependent on wall thickness and construction.
- Dimensional consistency: Factory-manufactured blocks provide relatively uniform dimensions for accurate masonry work.
- Workability: AAC Blocks can be cut, drilled and shaped using suitable tools for electrical and plumbing requirements.
- Faster masonry: Larger block dimensions can reduce the number of masonry units and joints required compared with conventional bricks.
- Acoustic performance: Suitable AAC wall constructions can provide useful sound-reduction characteristics.
