Many people are unwilling to use aerated lightweight concrete, and one of the reasons of their unwillingnfess is because they believe these myths.

1. MYTH: Aerated concrete is easy to break apart
FACT: When it is correctly installed, aerated lightweight concrete is difficult to break apart. Burglars are unlikely to break into the house by breaking a wall, they manipulate the door keys or  force to open the windows instead.

2. MYTH: Not suitable for outer walls
FACT: If you use this material for outer walls, the surfaces must be covered with plaster and white cement for protection against the weather.

3. MYTH: Don’t use it to construct bathroom walls
FACT: For usage in a wet or humid area, you should add a waterproof layer on top of the sloof blocks. This layer is a mixture of cement and water in 1:3 proportion. The height of this layer should be at least 1m.

4. MYTH: Tidak tahan terhadap air.
FACT: One of the reasons this myth arises is the fact that aerated lightweight concrete has pores and people assume that this material keeps the water in it. This assumption is not true. Although it has a large amount of pores, aerated lightweight concrete is non absorbant. This is due to the fact that the pores within the concrete are separated. There is no interconnection between each pore and this means water won’t be absorbed into this material.
