The Florida Road mixed-use new building in Durban is a developer-specified Aertec AAC project throughout, with the specification driven by the material's structural performance optimisation and the speed advantages it delivers for an ambitious construction schedule in the Durban climate.
Durban's high humidity coastal environment presents specific durability requirements for building materials, and Aertec AAC's natural moisture resistance and non-hygroscopic properties make it well-suited to the Durban climate. The material's thermal performance is also beneficial in a hot, humid environment where cooling energy costs are significant.
The Florida Road project extends Aertec's presence in the Durban market, demonstrating the material's viability for mixed-use development in South Africa's third-largest city.
