Hollow-core slabs on AAC walls
Hollow-core slabs on AAC walls
03AAC systems // H

Long spans,
light walls.

Prestressed hollow-core slabs on AAC wall panels: longer rooms, the same light, fire-rated, insulated walls.

00Mission

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.

01System H

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.

04Deployed

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.
