Where AAC Can Transform Construction in Canada
Where AAC Can Transform Construction in Canada
Residential Construction
AAC is the ideal material for building comfortable, energy-efficient, and safe homes. From single-family residences to high-rise towers and Indigenous community housing, our systems deliver what modern developers need:
-
R30–R50 thermal insulation for energy savings
-
Up to 56 dB soundproofing for quiet living spaces
-
2–6 hour fire resistance, ideal for wildfire zones
-
2x faster installation than concrete or brick
-
Up to 80% lighter than concrete, reducing foundation and shipping costs
Commercial & Mixed-Use Buildings
AAC panels are a top choice for commercial developments, including office buildings, retail stores, medical facilities, and hospitality projects. With faster build times and excellent thermal and acoustic performance, they improve efficiency without compromising quality.
