According to IS 2185 (Part 3): 1984 – Concrete Masonry Units, Part 3 – Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Blocks, Clause 5.3.3 specifies that AAC products shall have a water absorption not exceeding 35% by mass when tested as per IS 3495 (Part 2). This controlled absorption ensures that the panels resist capillary water penetration better than conventional masonry.

Yes. Magicrete AAC Wall Panels have been tested and are suitable up to Seismic Zone IV. Per IS 1893 (Part 1): 2016, masonry infill (such as AAC panels) can be modeled as equivalent diagonal struts (Clause 7.9), contributing to the frame’s lateral stiffness. Under IS 1905:1987, masonry walls are governed by allowable stresses, stability, and lateral support requirements; for seismic zones III/IV/V, additional strengthening per IS 4326 etc. is advised.

Yes, Magicrete AAC Wall Panels are suitable for high-wind and tall buildings, as demonstrated by comprehensive wind load resistance tests conducted in accordance with industry standards.
The panels have been subjected to structural tests designed to evaluate their performance under extreme wind pressures typical of high-rise and coastal environments. Specifically, pull-out tests for anchorages confirm that the fasteners and clamps used with Magicrete AAC Wall Panels can safely withstand high wind loads. These tests measure the shear strength and anchor pull-out capacity of the fasteners when subjected to wind-induced forces, ensuring that the panels remain securely fixed even in seismic zones and areas with high wind velocities.
Additionally, the panel joint design and reinforcement further enhance the overall structural integrity and wind resistance. Panels used in high-rise construction adhere to the guidelines provided in IS 1893 (Part 1): 2016, which includes provisions for wind load resistance in tall structures.

AAC Wall Panels are 4× faster to install, lighter by 60%, fire-resistant, and thermally efficient, providing additional floor space and long-term cost savings.

Begin by ensuring that the foundation is level and stable. Clean the area of debris and dust to provide a clean surface for installation. Check that all tools and materials required for installation, such as mortar, level, and fasteners, are ready and accessible.

Start by applying a thin layer of adhesive or mortar on the surface where the panel will be placed. Carefully align the panel at one corner and slowly lay it down towards the other end, ensuring it is perfectly horizontal using a spirit level. Use spacers to maintain uniform joints between panels.

Apply a consistent, even layer of adhesive using a notched trowel along the side edges and back of the panel. Ensure full coverage to avoid air pockets or weak joints, which can compromise the structural integrity.

Yes, avoid installing AAC wall panels in extremely wet conditions or temperatures below 5°C. Ideal conditions are dry with moderate temperatures, as extreme weather can affect the setting of the adhesive and the curing process.

Common mistakes include not using a level during installation, resulting in uneven walls, and insufficient adhesive application, leading to weak bonds. Also, avoid rushing the curing process; allow sufficient time for the adhesive to set properly.

After positioning the panel, press it firmly against the substrate to ensure good adhesive contact. Check the alignment again with a level. You may also use temporary supports or braces to hold the panel in place while the adhesive sets.

If alignment issues occur, gently tap the panels into the correct position using a rubber mallet. Re-check alignment continuously while the adhesive is still wet and adjustable. Make adjustments as necessary before the adhesive sets.

Once all panels are installed and the adhesive has cured, remove any spacers used between the panels. Fill the joints with suitable filler or sealant as recommended. Finally, apply a finish of your choice, such as paint or wallpaper, according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

AAC Wall Panels have a useful lifespan of up to 100 years but material still retains structure after that, similar to conventional AAC blocks, ensuring durable and long-term performance.

Panels have a compressive strength of around 3.5 N/mm² and a density of 550–650 kg/m³, ensuring robust structural integrity and durability.

Panels are installed using L clamps and Klimas/ Hilti/ Fischer anchor fasteners of 6x60 mm each, fixed to the floor and ceiling. Fiber mesh and Magicrete JointPro ensure joint stability.

A 4–5-member team can install up to 40–50 sq. m. per day, ensuring faster construction compared to brickwork.

Yes. Basic masonry skills are required, and Magicrete can provide trained installation support through certified teams.

Yes. Panels can be easily cut, chased, or drilled using standard cutting and drilling tools.

Yes. Openings can be made, and AAC panels themselves can act as lintels with appropriate bearing and fixing.

Yes. Reinforced AAC Panels can be used as lintels with a minimum bearing of 200 mm on either side.

For internal walls, no plastering is required, just a 6mm gypsum punning or combination of coarse and fine putty coat will suffice. For external walls, plastering or external wall render is mandatory to protect against moisture and weather exposure.

Yes. Magicrete AAC Wall Panels can safely support fixtures of varying weights when appropriate fasteners are used, as per the recommended load categories below:

Yes. Tiles, paint, and texture finishes can be applied directly after joint treatment and surface preparation.

 AAC wall panels should not be exposed to continuous direct moisture or water. Make sure any installations in moisture-prone areas are properly sealed and waterproofed.

It's recommended to inspect the panels annually for any signs of damage or wear, such as cracking or moisture ingress, and address any issues promptly.

Small hairline cracks are normal and can be filled with acrylic caulk. For larger cracks or damages, it's best to consult a professional for proper assessment and repair.

AAC wall panels have good thermal insulation properties and generally do not require special treatment under normal temperature variations. However, avoid exposing the panels to extreme heat directly, such as from a barbecue or outdoor heater.

Yes, but it is essential to use the correct type of anchors and fixings designed for AAC materials. For heavy or load-bearing fixtures, ensure the fixings penetrate into the structural framing behind the panels.

AAC Wall Panels are palletised for easy transportation and handling. Typically, each pallet contains five panels, although this number may vary depending on the thickness of the panels. The panels are transported using trailers for large deliveries.
