To my knowledge, they use Poroton, the red brick. They don't know aerated concrete there at all.
That is correct, I would estimate that 90% of all solid houses in this area are built with the red bricks from a Viennese brickworks.
The remaining 10% are divided between aerated concrete and "normal" concrete.
Whereas aerated concrete is becoming increasingly popular, especially in southern Austria (southern Burgenland) and Upper Austria. The trend probably comes from the fact that, on the one hand, the requirements for subsidies are becoming stricter, and on the other hand, fewer and fewer people want classic EPS insulation and the alternatives are expensive.
