AAC infill · Doha Club
03AAC systems // D
Cut, carved,
cantilevered.
Arches, parapets, pergolas, cantilevers and decorative façades, cut from the same AAC panels, slabs and blocks.
00Mission
Shape it on site.
Or in the factory.
AAC cuts with a hand saw and carves with a router, so arches, grooves, cornices and parapets are shaped on site after fixing. Slabs form pergolas and inclined roofs; lightweight blocks fill architectural RC frames to make long cantilevers possible.

02Technical data
The numbers
behind the system.
Values from GGI technical data sheets. Project-specific calculations, span tables, fire certificates and drawings on request.
| Wall panels | 100 to 300 mm, up to 6 m Load-bearing or non-load-bearing |
| Slabs | 150 to 250 mm, span to 6 m Steel I-beam for longer spans |
| Lintels | Cut to the opening Same material as the wall |
| Blocks | 600 × 200 × 200 mm Thin-bed mortar |
| Stairs | AAC slabs Or RC, precast or steel |
| Preparation | Repair, sand-rub, fibre tape at joints All walls and slabs |
| Internal | Primer, filler, two topcoats Direct smooth paint |
| External | Primer, filler, two texture coats, topcoat, glaze Textured paint preferred |
| Panels above each other | Load-bearing panels line up floor to floor |
| Plan openings early | Good layout avoids on-site cutting |
| Foundation outside the wall line | Protects against moisture and settlement |
