AAC Product Systems
AAC Products Guide
AAC product selection should connect product type, wall function, structural requirements, installation needs, documentation, supply planning, and project location. The right product path depends on more than a catalog list.
Common AAC Product Families
- Standard and cored blocks: used for wall construction, partitions, and infill conditions.
- U-blocks and lintels: used around openings and structural transitions where project design requires them.
- Panels: used for wall, floor, roof, cladding, and fascia applications depending on the project system.
- Mortar and accessories: used to support installation quality and coordination.
Short Answer
AAC product selection should start with the wall or building function. A product list is only useful when it is connected to drawings, quantities, destination, handling conditions, performance requirements, and the installation method. The goal is to select a coordinated product system, not only individual items.
Product Selection Questions
Before selecting AAC products, project teams should define the wall application, expected loads, fire and acoustic requirements, installation method, delivery location, site handling conditions, and the drawings or documentation needed for production and installation.
How Product Families Fit Project Needs
- Standard blocks are usually considered for wall construction, partitions, and infill conditions.
- Cored blocks may be used where project design and local practice require specific wall functions.
- U-blocks and lintels support openings and transitions when coordinated with engineering details.
- Reinforced panels can support wall, floor, roof, cladding, or fascia applications depending on the product and project system.
- Mortar and accessories help protect installation quality and dimensional coordination.
Where MHE Product Support Fits
MHE organizes AAC product guidance through AAC Products, Our Products, AAC Standard Blocks, AAC Panels, and Global Supply and Export. Technical projects may also need AAC design engineering before product decisions are finalized.
Product Decisions That Should Not Wait Until Procurement
Product choices affect drawings, detailing, logistics, storage, installation planning, and quality control. If a project waits until procurement to select product families, the team may discover late conflicts around openings, panel spans, wall thickness, fire rating, acoustic targets, or delivery sequence.
Documents to Prepare
- Project location and destination country
- Product interest and estimated quantity
- Architectural and structural drawings if available
- Delivery timeline and logistics constraints
- Performance or code requirements that must be reviewed
