Why dry-installed reinforced ALC panels cut site time by weeks.
Masonry walls require wet trades: mixing mortar, waiting for each lift to cure, then plastering. Reinforced ALC panels change the equation — they are delivered factory-precision, drilled and fixed mechanically, and can be clad the same week they arrive.
An ALC panel is B05 grade reinforced autoclaved concrete: 600 mm wide, up to 6 m long, from 50 to 300 mm thick. Factory-embedded anti-corrosion steel mesh carries the panel's own weight across steel or concrete framing. Because the panel is one piece, you skip block laying, wall ties and render scratch coats.
Speed is the headline. Chinese contractors report roughly 1.75× faster enclosure than conventional masonry. For a 4–5 storey commercial building, that translates to weeks — and weeks of early access pay for the panels many times over.
Where ALC panels earn their keep: floor/roof decks (up to 300 mm thick, spanning 6 m), external facade panels (100–200 mm, with insulation or render finish), and internal partitions (75–150 mm, fast, dimensionally stable). The trade-off is that panel structures need structural steel or concrete framing design — it is not a drop-in replacement for blockwork on an existing cavity wall.
