We are in the 3rd Millennium! (Is your building project?)
Why build a new house using conventional methods and materials, when a less expensive and technologically advanced material is available?
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) has been used in Europe, with outstanding results, longer than CMU blocks have been used in Hawaii. This exceptional building material is finally available here in Hawaii, along with construction industry experts at MHE International who have the knowledge, skills, and AAC-specific training to take your new home into the 21st century!
AAC is Leeds Certified and hypo-allergenic with superior structural properties, yielding unlimited design configurations with beautiful styles. It is easy to use, economical, and requires minimal long-term maintenance.
Advantages of AAC:
GREEN BUILDING MATERIAL
|
Termite proof Fire proof Mildew proof Shatter proof Impact absorbent/bullet proof Water proof Earth quake resistant Heat resistant Excellent thermal insulator Excellent sound deadener/insulator Non-allergic Non-combustible |
Non-decaying Light weight – floats in water No sprinkler system required once structure is complete No hurricane ties needed Same material used for walls, partition walls, floors and roofing Easy workability – cutting, drilling, milling, nailing, screwing Completed structures have exceptional strength Less expensive than conventional alternative materials Simplifies the design and building process Quicker/less labor intensive during construction than the conventional alternatives |
The above features contribute to significant savings with AAC, when compared to construction projects utilizing conventional alternatives:
|
Lower material purchase costs Lower transportation costs Lower erection costs No sprinkler system costs (if applicable) |
No hurricane tie costs No insulation costs due to AAC’s superior thermal/sound insulating qualities |
And, upon completion, the savings continue:
|
AAC buildings require very minimal maintenance Superior, energy-saving performance Lower AC bills/electrical costs - AC installation may be unnecessary |
Lower insurance premiums than conventional buildings No tenting and other extermination costs |
Disadvantages:
It is not FREE :-)
