AAC Wall Panels

Magicrete AAC Wall Panels is the quintessential green building material incorporating features long been desired by builders, engineers, and architects in the building construction industry. Their advantages surpass traditional construction methods, such as red clay bricks and concrete blocks, in several key aspects: strength, acoustics, thermal insulation, fire resistance, and installation efficiency. These panels, reinforced with corrosion-protected steel, strike a balance between lightweight design and heavy-duty performance.

Having achieved substantial success in global markets, AAC Wall Panel technology embodies the pinnacle of durable and high-quality construction, achieved within remarkably short timelines.

These panels boast the industry's highest thermal rating, boasting a K-value of 0.16 W/(m⋅K). Their cellular structure guarantees a well-insulated interior, ensuring cooler interiors during summer and warmer spaces in winter. Studies reveal a remarkable 30% reduction in air-conditioning bills, highlighting the panels' exceptional energy efficiency.

Resource efficiency remains a hallmark of Magicrete AAC Wall Panels, emphasizing minimal environmental impact. The closed air pockets within the panels create outstanding sound insulation, reaching an STC rating of 44 dB, effectively dampening external noise. Furthermore, their impressive 4-hour fire rating permits thinner wall sections, maximizing floor space for end-users. Available in full-height lengths from floor to ceiling, with varied thicknesses and a standard width of 600 mm, these panels offer versatility in design and application. Magicrete AAC wall panels' price are competitive in comparison to other walling materials available in the market.

Magicrete AAC Wall Panels are made from a mixture of cement, lime, sand, gypsum, and water, enhanced with an aluminum powder that induces porosity.


Can AAC Wall Panels be customized?

Yes. Heights can be customized up to 6 meters as per approved architectural drawings.

Will AAC Wall Panels crack over time?

No. When installed correctly with flexible joint gaps, fiber mesh, and sealants, the panels remain crack-free.

What is the fire resistance of AAC Wall Panels?

A 100 mm thick AAC Panel provides 4 hours of fire rating, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.

What are the thermal and acoustic properties?

Panels deliver a U-value of 0.16 W/mK and sound reduction of 43 dB, ensuring superior insulation and comfort.

Are the panels waterproof?

AAC Wall Panels are not inherently waterproof, but they are moisture-resistant and perform excellently when provided with suitable surface protection as per Indian Standards.

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.

Are AAC Wall Panels suitable for seismic zones?

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.

Are AAC Wall Panels suitable for high-wind or tall buildings?

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.

Why choose AAC Wall Panels over conventional brickwork or blockwork?

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.

What are the initial steps for preparing to install Magicrete AAC Wall Panels?

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.

How do I properly align and place Magicrete AAC Wall Panels?

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.

What is the recommended technique for applying adhesive to 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.

Are there specific environmental conditions favorable for installing AAC wall panels?

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.


What common mistakes should I avoid when installing AAC wall panels?

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.

How do I ensure the panels are securely fixed?

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.

What should I do if there is an alignment issue with the panels during installation?

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.

How do I finish the installation of Magicrete AAC Wall Panels?

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.

How long do AAC Wall Panels last?

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.

How strong are AAC Wall Panels?

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.

How are AAC Wall Panels installed or fixed?
