An Introduction

To Our Method of Construction

Autoclaved aerated concrete was developed in Sweden in the late 1920s by Johan Axel Eriksson. A lack of wood, caused by forest decimation, created a need for an alternative building material. Eriksson's search required a highly-versatile material with excellent thermal insulation, solid structure and workability - the advantages of wood, but without the disadvantages - such as combustibility, termite damage and decay. The result has stood the test of time and has proven its durability in an international marketplace.
