What are 15 cm AAC blocks used for?
15 cm AAC blocks (20x60x15 cm) make a thick wall for jobs that need extra sound and heat insulation. Each block weighs about 13.6-14 kg and a wall takes 8.33 blocks per m². A 15 cm Q-CON wall rates about STC 43 and works as an exterior wall without a double skin.
Applications and grades
- Sun-facing exterior walls and houses that should stay cool longer.
- Rooms that need strong sound insulation, such as home theaters, music rooms and meeting rooms.
- Shophouse, factory and unit-separating walls.
- G2 AAC blocks (Q-CON Extra Cool) or G4 AAC blocks (Q-CON, THAICON, Aerocrete) as the drawings specify.
Benefits of 15 cm AAC blocks
A thick wall cuts heat gain and outside noise further, resists fire for longer and is strong enough for tall walls in a column-and-beam frame. Check the load capacity of the slab or beam that carries the wall before ordering. Diamond, TPI and Smart Block make this thickness to order; ask for a price. Thin-bed mortar use is about 3.0 kg/m² (one bag lays about 15 m²).
