Lightweight Hardie™ Gravis™ AAC panels, installed and finished with a texture coat and membrane for a solid, rendered look.

FAQ
AAC panel walls: common questions
Why choose AAC panels over brick?
AAC panels go up faster and weigh far less than brick, which matters on upper storeys. They also offer good thermal and acoustic performance and a solid, masonry feel once finished.
Is AAC suitable for bushfire areas?
James Hardie lists the Gravis™ panel as non-combustible and suitable for all Bushfire Attack Levels when installed as specified. We confirm the system for your site's BAL rating before quoting.
How are AAC panels finished?
AAC needs a compatible coating system to keep water out and give an even finish. We apply a texture coat and a flexible membrane in your chosen colour, so the wall doesn't need separate painting.
