Exeed Litecrete is a subsidiary of Exeed Industries, the industrial arm of National Holding. Exeed Industries is a leading Abu Dhabi based group focused on building materials and construction related industries with operations spread across UAE and the wider MENA region.
Exeed Litecrete was established in 2009, with production commencing in 2010 and has a portfolio of products covering AAC block with a range of densities from 430 to 650 kg/m³ and the newly introduced reinforced AAC products range. The new AAC range includes non-load bearing wall panels ≤3.5 m length x 0.6 m width x 0.075-0.30 m thick and load bearing floor and roof panels ≤5.8 m length x 0.6 m width x 0.15-0.30 m thick , lintels and U blocks.
AAC
Invented in Sweden in 1924 AAC is a lightweight, precast, foam concrete building material that simultaneously provides structure, insulation and fire and mold resistance.
In the product’s manufacture, Portland cement is mixed with lime, silica sand, water, and an expansion agent and poured into a mold. The reaction between the expansion agent and concrete causes microscopic hydrogen bubbles, expanding the concrete to about three times its original volume. After evaporation of the hydrogen, the now highly closed-cell, aerated concrete is cut to size, form, and steam-cured in a pressurized chamber (an autoclave). The result is non-organic, non-toxic, airtight material used in non- or load-bearing exterior or interior walls, floors, and blocks.
“THE EXEED LITECRETE PRODUCTION PROCESS GENERATES NO POLLUTANTS OR HAZARDOUS WASTE.”

WALL PANELS
Non-Load Bearing Vertical Panels are reinforced with steel and are used for internal partitions. Fire rated up to 3 hours.
HOURDI BLOCKS
These are commonly known as “filler bloks” that are used to create floors and roofs. These blocks rest on reinforced concrete called filigree slabs.

Application
Build faster and lighter with Exeed Litecrete AAC!
Exeed Litecrete AAC products are an extraordinary insulating material that play an important role in constructing sustainable energy efficient ‘Green Buildings’ and are widely used in residential, commercial and industrial projects across the UAE and GCC.
Preferred by Owners, Engineers, Contractors and Architects, Exeed Litecrete AAC systems are used extensively in all types of building structures – from private villas to high-rise residential and office towers and are considered one of the most innovative building materials available today.
Exeed Litecrete AAC products are lightweight and are of a larger format than traditional masonry blocks. This enables speedy completion of masonry work with less manpower and reduces construction time by up to 20%.
The lightweight nature of our AAC also makes it easier and faster to transport, place (fewer crane lifts) and the large AAC dimensions also result in fewer joints, which combined with the reduced mortar bed thickness of Exeed Block Mortar BM can reduce the total consumption of masonry mortar by over two-thirds.
EXEED LITECRETE SYSTEMS ARE IDEAL TO USE ON:
COMMON AREAS OF USE
Any Wall of a residential building: load of bearing, interior and exterior
Any Walls and partitions for outbuildings, as well as seasonal operation of buildings
Walls located below ground level with pre-waterproofing
Walls of baths and pools, provided protection against water
EXEED LITECRETE SYSTEMS ARE IDEAL TO USE ON:
