Steps on How to Install AAC Blocks
The installation of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks involves the following steps:
Preparation of the foundation: The foundation must be level and stable, and the walls must be straight and plumb. The AAC blocks must be supported by a solid concrete footing or a reinforced masonry bond beam.
Cutting and shaping: AAC blocks may need to be cut to size to fit the specific dimensions of the wall. This can be done with a carbide saw equipped with a diamond blade.
Laying the blocks: The AAC blocks are laid on top of a bed of mortar and are spaced apart to allow for the application of mortar to the vertical joints. The blocks are then tapped gently into place to ensure a tight fit using rubber mallet.
Application of AAC Adhesives: The vertical joints between the AAC blocks are filled with a special AAC adhesive that is designed for use with AAC blocks. The adhesive material must be applied consistently and must be smoothed to ensure a neat and uniform finish using trowel with different dimension that fits with the size of the AAC blocks.
Seismic Gaps: Put 15mm - 20mm seismic gap between the AAC blocks and beams and columns.
Horizontal and Vertical Rebars for Dowel: The 8-inch with 100m diameter rebars are drilled in the beam and columns and embedded into the blocks.
Accessories: Rubber mallet, carbide saw, dowel bar(8inches, 10mm diameter), AAC Adhesives, cement, leveling bar, drill mixer, trowel

How many AAC blocks in 1 square meter?
There are 8.33 AAC blocks per square meter. So to calculate the total pieces of AAC blocks in your wall, just multiply the wall area by 8.33.
How much is AAC blocks per square meter?
The latest price of AAC blocks in the Philippines depends on dimension and compressive strength. It's usually range from ₱1316 to ₱3174. See the latest pricing here.
Paano Mag-Install ng AAC Blocks?
Ang pag-install ng autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks ay kinabibilangan ng mga sumusunod na hakbang:
Paghahanda ng pundasyon: Ang pundasyon ay dapat pantay at matatag, at ang mga pader ay dapat tuwid at patayo. Ang AAC blocks ay dapat suportado ng isang matibay na konkretong paanan o isang pinatibay na masonry bond beam.
Pagputol at paghubog: Maaaring kailanganin na putulin ang AAC blocks ayon sa sukat upang umakma sa tiyak na sukat ng dingding. Ito ay maaaring gawin gamit ang isang carbide saw na may diamante na talim.
Paglalagay ng mga bloke: Ang mga AAC blocks ay inilalagay sa ibabaw ng isang kama ng mortar at pinaglalayo upang magbigay daan para sa aplikasyon ng mortar sa mga patayong kasugpong. Pagkatapos ay marahang tinatapik ang mga bloke gamit ang rubber mallet upang matiyak ang mahigpit na pagkakabit.
Pag-apply ng AAC Adhesives: Ang mga patayong kasugpong sa pagitan ng AAC blocks ay pinupunan ng isang espesyal na AAC adhesive na dinisenyo para sa paggamit sa AAC blocks. Ang adhesive material ay dapat ilapat nang pare-pareho at dapat patagin upang matiyak ang maayos at pantay na pagtatapos gamit ang trowel na may iba't ibang sukat na akma sa laki ng AAC blocks. Wag gagamit ng ibang semento for the adhesives.
Seismic Gaps: Maglagay ng 15mm - 20mm seismic gap sa pagitan ng AAC blocks at ng mga biga at haligi.
Pahalang at Patayong Rebars para sa Dowel: Ang 8 pulgadang rebars na may 100mm diameter ay binubutas sa biga at haligi at isinasama sa mga bloke.
Accessories: Rubber mallet, carbide saw, dowel bar (8 pulgada, 10mm diameter), AAC Adhesives, semento, leveling bar, drill mixer, trowel.
