AIRCRETE Fire Resistant Insulated Acoustic Light Weight Concrete
Aircrete is a high-performance lightweight cellular concrete with millions of tiny air cells. As a fire resistant concrete it sits at the heart of the FrameForm system, helping deliver strength, efficiency, comfort and long-term fire performance in every pour.
Cellular concrete + steel frame systems
Built for Australia.
Fire Resistant Concrete
Non-combustible fire resistant concrete suited to fire-focused and bushfire-prone applications.
Primary buttonWhat Is Aircrete?
Aircrete is created by mixing cement, water and a foaming agent to produce millions of uniformly distributed air bubbles. These microscopic cells give Aircrete its unique combination of lightweight handling, thermal resistance, fire resistance and acoustic performance. As a fire resistant concrete, Aircrete is non-combustible and does not burn, melt or release toxic gases. When combined with FrameForm steel framing, it creates a smarter core for walls, fences, floors and panel cavities.
The Benefits Of Aircrete
A lightweight concrete solution that improves performance without the drawbacks of timber, heavy concrete or traditional wall systems.
How Aircrete Achieves Fire Resistance
Unlike dense mixes that can suffer explosive spalling when trapped moisture turns to steam at high temperatures, Aircrete's cellular structure gives it a naturally low thermal conductivity, so heat travels slowly through the material. As a non-combustible fire resistant concrete it will not burn, melt or release toxic gases, helping walls and panels retain integrity during a fire.
Lightweight
Reduced structural load, transport complexity and installation effort compared with heavier concrete systems.
Thermal Insulation
Millions of air cells help resist heat transfer, improving comfort in both summer and winter.
Acoustic Performance
Absorbs and dampens sound waves to reduce noise transmission through walls, fencing and panels.
Fire Resistant
Non-combustible and inherently fire resistant. Aircrete will not burn, melt or release toxic gases.
Durable & Long Lasting
Resistant to rot, mould, termites and corrosion. Designed to maintain performance for decades.
Sustainable
Made from abundant materials with low embodied energy and strong lifecycle advantages.

Fire Rated Concrete for Bushfire Zones
Aircrete is well suited to construction in bushfire-prone areas, where non-combustible materials help protect the building envelope. When integrated into the FrameForm steel-and-Aircrete composite system, it forms a core designed with fire performance in mind for homes, granny flats and acoustic fencing alike.
Fire Performance FAQ
Is concrete fire resistant? Concrete is non-combustible, and cellular concrete such as Aircrete adds excellent thermal insulation that slows heat transfer through walls and panels.
Does Aircrete release toxic gases in a fire? No. Aircrete will not burn, melt or release toxic gases.
Where is fire resistant concrete useful? In residential homes, multi-residential builds, acoustic fencing and bushfire-prone areas – explore our related bushfire building and acoustic fencing information for more detail.
Built Into The FrameForm System
FrameForm combines roll-formed steel frames with Aircrete infill to create a composite building system that is strong, insulated, acoustic and fire resistant. Steel frame: precision engineered for long-lasting structure. Aircrete core: lightweight, strong, insulating and fire resistant. External cladding: choose the finish, texture and style required.
