COMPARISON BETWEEN AAC BLOCK SYSTEM AND XS JOE GREEN PANEL

i. USE IN HIGH RISE

Not suitable for high rise as external wall, cracking after 5 stories observed due to Low Compressive strength of product (+-5.5Mpa) ii. ON FINISHING iii. ON MOUNTING FIXTURES Not recommended due to very low compressive strength of product (5.5Mpa). No Strength and Porous due to foaming agent. iv. M&E INTEGRATION v. EXTERNAL USE vi. IN WALLS DESIGN Requires Lintel and Stiffener every 3x3m.

Requires thick Plaster, if not spider cracks will emerge due to high water absorption of product. Further, the Motar is Higher compressive strength than Block (12-20Mpa versus 5-7Mpa). Any slight loading transfer will cause block to crack.

Product cannot be hacked or chased, will disintegrate due to no strength. M&E installation external.

Not recommended due to product porosity. Easily observed spider cracking and water seepage.

Suitable for use due to High Strength (40Mpa ++) and benefits with proper detailing.

Requires Skim Coat only due to product flatness tolerance of +-3mm (for 3 meter height panel) and very low water absorption.

(6.41% on 24 hour immersion test)

Very strong panel design (40Mpa), Direct mounting of Kitchen Cabinets and Toilets, etc on JOE Green panel OK. (400KG /point Load)

Easily integrated into hollows. M&E Team can start work the next day from installation.

Compact and strong panel with Very Low water absorption, used widely as external wall.

Customisable to 6.5m. Minimum use of Lintel & also Stiffener.
