The Combrink residence in Cape Town was built with Aertec AAC as the primary walling material. The home owner selected AAC for its rapid construction advantages — enabling the project to be completed ahead of the conventional masonry schedule — and for the high build quality that the precision blocks deliver.
The lightweight nature of AAC blocks (approximately 400 kg/m³) reduced the structural loads on the building's foundations and floor slabs, allowing for more economical structural design. This load reduction is a significant advantage that contributes directly to the overall project cost savings.
The completed home demonstrates the premium quality of finish achievable with Aertec AAC, with straight, plumb walls and a smooth CEM-SKIM plaster surface throughout.
