XELLA is a global construction leader, recognized for innovation and sustainability. Its products, such as aerated concrete blocks and calcium silicate panels, redefine industry standards and promote an environmentally friendly future.
Pioneer of Sustainable and Innovative Construction Solutions
XELLA is an international company that has established itself as a major player in the construction industry. Founded in Germany, it has rapidly expanded globally thanks to its innovative and sustainable approach to construction. XELLA's high-quality products are redefining industry standards and paving the way for a more environmentally friendly future.
A solid heritage: the origins of XELLA
The XELLA brand was born from the merger of several companies specializing in building materials, which joined forces to create an entity capable of meeting the current and future challenges of the sector. XELLA's history is thus marked by innovation and the ability to anticipate market needs, offering solutions that are both efficient and sustainable.
XELLA's flagship products: a revolution in construction
XELLA has built a solid reputation thanks to its iconic products, including the cellular concrete blocks autoclaved concrete (AAC) and calcium silicate panels. These materials have revolutionized the way we build, offering considerable advantages in terms of energy savings, thermal comfort and reduced CO2 emissions.
Autoclaved cellular concrete (AAC) blocks
Autoclaved aerated concrete is a lightweight and durable building material with a honeycomb structure that provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. AAC blocks are made from natural raw materials such as sand, lime, cement, and water, to which an expansion agent is added to create millions of micro-air bubbles. The blocks then undergo an autoclaving process, which hardens and stabilizes the material's structure. AAC blocks offer a fast, economical, and environmentally friendly construction solution.
Calcium silicate panels
Calcium silicate boards are lightweight, fire-resistant, weather-resistant, and thermally and acoustically insulating building materials based on hydrated calcium silicate. These boards are used for interior and exterior wall construction, roofs, and ceilings, as well as for the renovation of existing buildings. Their ease of installation and durability make them a preferred solution for both new construction and renovation projects.
