In today’s video, we’re exploring a game-changing building material that’s light, strong, and full of air—aerated concrete. You might’ve seen those pale, blocky structures at construction sites and wondered what they were. Well, they’re not your average bricks. From its unique chemical reaction to its steamy high-pressure baking process, we’ll show you exactly how aerated concrete—also known as AAC—comes to life and why it’s become a favorite in sustainable construction.
If you're into architecture, engineering, or just enjoy knowing how everyday materials are made, this one’s for you.
