How Many AAC Blocks Do You Need?

Every AAC block we supply has the same 600 × 200 mm face; only the thickness changes. So:

Blocks per m³ = 1,000,000,000 ÷ (length × height × thickness, in mm). For a 4 inch block: 1,000,000,000 ÷ (600 × 200 × 100) ≈ 83.3.
Blocks per m² of wall = 1 ÷ (0.6 × 0.2) ≈ 8.33 for every size, which is about 77 blocks per 100 sq ft.

Size	Block (mm)	Blocks per m³	Blocks per 100 sq ft of wall	Approx. weight
2 inch	600 × 200 × 50	166.7	77	3.3–3.9 kg
3 inch	600 × 200 × 75	111.1	77	5.0–5.9 kg
4 inch	600 × 200 × 100	83.3	77	6.6–7.8 kg
5 inch	600 × 200 × 125	66.7	77	8.3–9.8 kg
6 inch	600 × 200 × 150	55.6	77	9.9–11.7 kg
8 inch	600 × 200 × 200	41.7	77	13.2–15.6 kg
9 inch	600 × 200 × 225	37.0	77	14.9–17.6 kg

Weight is worked out from a dry density of 550–650 kg/m³; blocks weigh more when wet. The real requirement also depends on joint thickness (thin-bed adhesive joints are 2–3 mm; mortar joints reduce the count slightly), door and window openings, cutting, and breakage on site. Allow 3–5% extra.
