Enhancing AAC Blocks with Gypsum Plaster for Improved Performance
AC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) blocks are becoming increasingly popular in the construction industry due to their durability, energy efficiency, and eco-friendliness. Gypsum plaster, on the other hand, is a popular finishing material for walls and ceilings due to its smoothness, fire-resistance, and sound insulation properties. Combining these two materials can lead to a flawless finish for your walls and ceilings. Here’s why gypsum plaster on AAC blocks is the perfect combination:
Smooth Finish
AAC blocks have a slightly porous surface due to the aeration process during their production. Applying gypsum plaster on the surface of AAC blocks fills the pores and creates a smooth surface that is ready for painting or wallpapering.
Fire Resistance
Gypsum plaster is a non-combustible material, which makes it a great choice for fire protection. When applied on AAC blocks, it can enhance the fire-resistance properties of the blocks, making them ideal for construction in areas prone to fire outbreaks.
Sound Insulation
AAC blocks already have excellent sound insulation properties due to their air pockets. By adding gypsum plaster on the surface, the sound insulation properties are further improved, creating a quieter indoor environment.
Cost-Effective
Using gypsum plaster on AAC blocks is a cost-effective solution for finishing walls and ceilings. AAC blocks are affordable, and gypsum plaster is readily available and easy to apply. Additionally, the combination of these two materials creates a durable finish that requires minimal maintenance over time.
