EASE OF CONSTRUCTION
Filler Slab Fiber Cement Board
• An alternative slab construction technology, where a part of concrete at the • Non-asbestos, autoclaved cement board, manufactured using the
bottom of the slab is replaced by filler material. High Pressure Steam Curing (HPSC) technology.
• The air gap in between the tiles makes it a good heat insulator. • No special handling or precaution is required for the product.
• Cost effective, and has an aesthetic look. • It is light-weight,easy to handle and accepts a wide range of surface
Rammed Earth Construction finishes (e.g. acrylic, ceramic, etc.)
• The usage of compressed earth which is a mixture of measured amount of Fly Ash
sand, gravel and clay. • It is the heterogeneous by-product produced during the combustion

Hollow Core Slabs
• Hollow Core Slabs are Prestressed, Precast Concrete Slabs, with
hollow portions in the regions of zero stresses.
• Reduces building costs, and reduces the overall weight of the
structure.
• Excellent fire resistance and sound insulation properties.
• Easy and fast construction

Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks (Cseb):
• Environmentally friendly, which used minimal amounts of concrete.
• Fast and easy construction, with little requirement for skilled labor.
• Cost effective, good durability, and prevents dampness.
