Morning All,
There's a big HooHaa in the press ATM about Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC). The government are closing schools and public buildings that use it. After decades of use they've only just realised it can crumble. Story here:
My question; does AAC include breeze block and cinder block as used in residential housing since the 70's? My house is full of this stuff. It's easy to detect as you can just push a screwdriver into it, or saw it with a standard timber saw - picture below. All my cavity walls use it.
Thanks.
