Long spans,
light walls.
Prestressed hollow-core slabs on AAC wall panels: longer rooms, the same light, fire-rated, insulated walls.
Hollow-core where the span asks for it.
System H pairs reinforced AAC wall panels with prestressed hollow-core slabs: where rooms are wider than 6 m, or floor loads are higher, the hollow-core slab carries the span and the AAC walls carry the slab. Lintels and parapets stay in AAC.
Hollow-core & AAC walls.
AAC wall panels fixed together with hollow-core slabs on a raft foundation: AAC lintels over the openings, AAC parapets on the roof, hollow-core and AAC slabs where each performs best.
| Foundation | RC raft; services fixed before casting |
| Wall panels | Reinforced AAC, 150 to 300 mm, load-bearing |
| Lintels | AAC, cut to the opening |
| Slabs | Prestressed hollow-core for long spans; AAC slabs elsewhere |
| Parapets | AAC panels, recessed or grooved as designed |
| Ring beam | RC ring beam at slab level on the AAC walls |

Where it is used.
- 1 Raft
RC raft cast with services in place
- 2 Walls
AAC panels set and glued, lintels cut in
- 3 Ring beam
RC ring beam on top of the walls
- 4 Slabs
Hollow-core craned onto the walls; AAC slabs on short spans
- 5 Parapet
AAC parapet panels to the design
- 6 Finish
Coating and paint, direct
Hollow-core
Prestressed slabs on reinforced AAC walls
Light walls for a heavy slab: the AAC panels carry hollow-core floors and keep the fire rating and insulation of the full AAC system.
