Gain from it.

Ecolite is an excellent alternative to concrete blocks and clay bricks and matches or outperforms them on numerous parameters. Ecolite offers AAC blocks and lintels made from environmentally friendly raw materials. Portland cement is mixed with quartz (silica/PFA), water, and an aeration agent and poured into a mould. This mixed and moulded sustainable concrete is autoclaved under heat and pressure, giving Ecolite unique properties.

Ecolite AAC blocks

Ecolite AAC Blocks

Ecolite AAC blocks are a Grade 1, non-organic, non-toxic, lightweight and airtight material best for walling with high strength and thermal insulation properties for use in load-bearing and non-load-bearing structures for interior and exterior applications.
The significant benefit of installing Ecolite AAC Blocks is that the brand offers a complete walling solution with sustainable jointing mortar and plaster. The brand provides consistency in quality, best-in-class service, minimal wastage in transit and end-to-end technical assistance. The blocks come in a range that suits the customer's exact applications. The blocks come in a range of Regular, XL and Mute.

Ecolite AAC lintels

Ecolite Lintels

Ecolite lintels are constructed from the same material as Ecolite AAC Blocks, bearing similar material properties. The precast, reinforced Ecolite AAC lintels are used as support over windows, doorways and other openings on both load and non-load-bearing masonry walls. The conventional method of preparing concrete lintels is time-consuming and, hence, avoidable in today's faster-to-market construction approaches.
Ecolite AAC lintels are also used as spreaders under the end supports of reinforced concrete beams to distribute high-bearing stresses into the supporting AAC block wall. The lintels are available in various sizes to suit the demands of a variety of structures.

Ecolite AAC mute blocks

Ecolite Mute

Ecolite Mute AAC blocks act as ‘sound barriers’ and provides a sound insulation greater than other building materials of the same weight. Its high surface mass coupled with mechanical vibration energy damping within its porous structure produces a construction material with gives it exceptional sound insulation properties.

Properties

Ecolite Properties


Lightweight

The lightweight property of Ecolite reduces the foundation loads, which leads to significant savings in the overall construction cost, especially in areas with poor soil-bearing capacity.

Long Lasting

Ecolite products do not contain any organic matter that can be prone to deterioration. The product does not degrade even under extreme weather conditions and has an excellent salvage value.

Eco-friendly

Ecolite is ecologically harmless and VOC-free since it neither contains gases nor fibres; it is neither dangerous to ground water nor releases radiation or fumes.

Acoustic Insulation

Ecolite meets the appropriate standards for sound insulation in house buildings, which means a quieter and more comfortable interior.

Pest Resistant

Ecolite provides an airtight interior, does not contain any organic ingredient and is termite-free, which makes your home uninviting to pests, insects or rodents.

Earthquake Resistant

The low mass of Ecolite results in the reduced total dead load of the building and consequently reduces the applied seismic forces to its structure.

Ecolite AAC Blocks vs Concrete blocks

Ecolite AAC Blocks vs Concrete blocks

Ecolite AAC Blocks match or outperform concrete blocks on not one but ten different parameters, as follows:


Anti-Vibration Properties

Concrete Blocks

The main frame structure takes maximum vibrations. Concrete Blocks are not designed for Anti-vibration properties. Concrete block masonry is better in Anti-vibration properties simply because it has more masonry joints and is stronger than AAC Block work.

Ecolite AAC Blocks

The main frame structure takes maximum vibrations. Ecolite AAC Block masonary is good in Anti-vibration properties. Ecolite AAC blocks are not specifically designed for Anti-vibration properties.


Finishing

Concrete Blocks

Concrete blocks are know to offer reasonably good finishing

Ecolite AAC Blocks are known for their excellent finishing


Plaster & mortar

Concrete Blocks

The plaster thickness required on concrete blocks is regular and minimum

The plaster thickness required on Ecolite AAC blocks is regular and minimum


Costs

Concrete Blocks

The cost of blocks is Rs. 4000/—per Cu M. The cost of blockwork is higher due to smaller blocks with several masonry joints and a joint thickness of 10 mm. Therefore, the quantity of mortar required is more, hence the increased cost.

Ecolite AAC Blocks

The cost of Ecolite AAC Blocks is Rs. 4000/- per Cu M. Blockwork costs less, as no. of joints & joint thickness (3/6 mm) required are less. Therefore quantity of mortar needed is less, hence the cost required is less.


Light weight

Concrete Blocks

The density of solid concrete blocks is 1800 Kg/Cu M. The blocks are heavy and hence require more manpower for handling.

Ecolite AAC Blocks

The density of Ecolite AAC blocks is almost 1/3rd that of concrete blocks at 451 to 1000 Kg/Cu M. Ecolite AAC Blocks are lighter in weight and require minimum manpower for handling.


Speed

Concrete Blocks

Compared to conventional brickwork, work with concrete blocks can be completed faster.

Ecolite AAC Blocks

Ecolite AAC Blockwork is faster than Concrete Blocks Work and other conventional bricks.


Structure Cost

Concrete Blocks

Since the density of blocks is higher, the dead load on the structure increases, and the cost of the structure also increases. The quantity of reinforcement steel required is approximately 0.3 - 0.4 Kg/Sft more on the slab area.

Ecolite AAC Blocks

Since the density of Ecolite AAC Blocks is less, the dead load on the structure is less, and hence, the cost of the structure is also less compared to solid concrete blocks. The reinforcement steel required is approximately 0.3 - 0.4 Kg/sqft less on the slab area.


Heat

Concrete Blocks

Concrete Blocks with 2 to 4 hours fire rating can be manufactured as per structure requirements.

Ecolite AAC Blocks with 2 to 4 hours fire rating can be manufactured as per structure requirement.


Earthquake Resistance

Concrete Blocks

The main structure is earthquake-resistant. Solid Concrete Block masonary does not have earthquake resistance properties, but due to the high density of the blocks, damage will be more.

Ecolite AAC Blocks

The main structure is earthquake-resistant. Ecolite AAC Block masonry does not have earthquake resistance properties, but due to the low density of the blocks, damage will be less.


Green

Concrete Blocks

Solid concrete blocks are manufactured using virgin natural materials and hence are not considered environmentally friendly.

Ecolite AAC Blocks

Ecolite AAC blocks are manufactured using waste products such as Fly Ash, GGBS, etc., and hence, they are considered environmentally friendly.
