Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC), or autoclaved cellular concrete, refers to a prefabricated, lightweight building material that is manufactured from quartz, sand, aggregates, lime, gypsum, and expansion agents. It constitutes an excessive amount of air that reduces the overall weight and density of the product. AAC is extensively used for the quick installation of walls, roofs, and floors due to its durability, fire resistance, thermal insulation, and energy efficiency. Currently, it is commercially available in varying forms, such as blocks, tiles, lintel, and panels.
