ACICO Aerated Concrete: Better than natural stone

ACICO aerated concrete consists of the same raw material as natural stone but has these significant advantages.
• ACICO aerated concrete is made of quartz sand, lime, cement and water – raw materials that are easily and naturally available
• the patented production process takes relatively little energy since ACICO aerated concrete is steam ured at only 180˚C
• During the production process a natural element – air – expands the volume. 5 cubic metres of construction material are produced from 1 cubic metre of raw materials. Resources can hardly be used more sparingly.
• Millions of air cells, entrained in ACICO aerated concrete, give this construction material its exceptional physical characteristics and its combination of properties that make it superior to any natural stone:
• high thermal insulation
• balanced heat storage
• good vapor diffusion characteristics
• light weight, large volume
• easy, rational workability
• good acoustic properties
• non-combustible
• impervious to insects
• weather-resistant
• long-lasting
• environmentally compatible
• virtually maintenance free
