How it works

Piers are drilled and poured, columns are installed, AAC panels are lifted into place, and optional finishes are applied to columns and panels.

A column of concrete blocks in a yard with some plants, a wooden fence, and a dirt ground.

Piers and footers

Construction workers installing gravel along a pathway in a parking lot, with machinery, parked cars, trees, and a blue sky in the background.

Columns or Posts

Construction workers installing a tall white concrete fence in outdoor setting with trees and blue sky. Two workers in safety gear are visible, with scaffold and tools nearby.

COMPARISON TO TRADITIONAL FLOOR AND ROOF SYSTEMS

AAC floor and roof panels simplify and speed up construction compared to conventional floor and roof assemblies while providing best-in-class performance and durability.

COMPARISON TO TRADITIONAL PRIVACY FENCE AND SOUND WALL SYSTEMS

AAC privacy fence and sound barrier panels provide the durability and longevity of concrete in a faster and more cost effective solution.

Wood and Vinyl Fence

WEAK POINTS

Susceptible to rot, warping, and insect damage

Combustible and vulnerable in fire-prone areas

Requires frequent maintenance and replacement

Gaps and movement reduce privacy and acoustic performance

AAC ADVANTAGE

Non-combustible and highly durable

Resistant to moisture, rot, and pests

Long-lasting with minimal maintenance

Solid construction improves privacy and sound reduction

Concrete Masonry (CMU)

Weak Points

Labor-intensive, block-by-block installation

Requires continuous footing and multiple construction steps

Performance depends on workmanship and sequencing

Typically requires added finishes for appearance

Longer construction schedules

AAC ADVANTAGE

Large-format panels install significantly faster

Reduced labor and simplified construction process

Factory precision improves consistency and quality

Accepts direct-applied finishes

Fewer steps accelerate schedule and reduce cos

Precast Concrete

Weak Points

Heavy systems require large equipment and foundations

Higher installation cost and logistical complexity

Limited flexibility for modifications

Longer installation timelines

AAC ADVANTAGE

Lightweight panels reduce equipment and foundation demands

Faster, more efficient installation

Easier to modify and adapt in the field

Lower overall system cost with similar durability
