An existing building in the heart of Durban CBD has been converted to residential apartments. Aertec AAC was specified for the internal partitioning throughout the conversion, with its lightweight properties enabling the residential conversion without requiring additional structural reinforcement of the existing commercial floor slabs.
The Durban CBD residential conversion market has been growing significantly, driven by the appeal of urban living and the availability of underutilised commercial building stock. Aertec AAC's lightweight properties make it the preferred walling material for such conversions, where structural slab capacity is typically the primary constraint.
The project demonstrates Aertec AAC's strong track record in Durban CBD conversion projects, complementing the material's established adoption in the Cape Town CBD conversion market.
