Hot take: AAC might actually be better than traditional concrete for a lot of projects 👀
Lighter, faster installation, better thermal performance, solid fire resistance… yet most builders around me still stick to old-school block/concrete like nothing else exists.
Is it because AAC is actually overrated?
Or just because the industry hates changing methods?
I keep seeing projects using AAC panels and blocks with wood/steel framing and the efficiency looks crazy compared to traditional systems.
For the people who’ve worked with it:
What’s the REAL downside everyone avoids talking about?
