AAC Block Wall Calculator Nepal
Estimate AAC / lightweight block count, thin-bed glue, and material cost for walls after opening deductions.
How this works
wall area = L × H − openings
blocks = ceil(area / block face) × (1+waste%)
glue kg = area × kg/m² × (1+waste%)Worked example
10 × 3 m wall with 4 m² openings and 600×200 mm blocks → ~26 m² net wall, then blocks and glue from face area and waste.

FAQ
How many AAC blocks do I need for a wall?
Divide net wall area (length × height minus openings) by the face area of one block, then add waste. This calculator does that and estimates thin-bed glue bags.
Is AAC the same as red brick?
No. AAC is lighter and usually laid with thin-bed adhesive rather than thick cement-sand mortar. Structural use must follow your engineer and brand guidance.
What waste percentage should I use?
Often 3–7% for simple walls; more for many cuts around openings. Fragile handling can increase breakage.
Does this include plaster?
No. AAC may need different plaster systems. Use the plastering calculator separately after the block wall is set.
Can I use brick mortar rates for AAC glue?
No. Use the manufacturer’s thin-bed glue coverage (kg/m²) and bag size.
