Building Bricks & Blocks

The ideal alternative to traditional bricks, building blocks made from concrete are a very popular choice in all kinds of construction and civil engineering projects. They make perfect primary building materials because they enable faster and stronger results than brick masonry. Concrete building blocks, also known as concrete masonry units (CMUs), are excellent for preventing noise pollution, increasing insulation, giving fire protection and reducing plaster usage.

It is standard practice in the construction industry to use concrete building bricks for load-bearing walls where considerations of strength are paramount. They are also flexible and can be made to custom sizes which not only reduces the amount of mortar needed but also increases the strength of the structure.

These highly effective building blocks come in many different forms, including solid concrete blocks, autoclaved aerated blocks, coursing blocks, pillar and corner blocks, partition blocks, trench blocks, lintels and paving blocks. They have triggered a major shift in construction practice and have delivered cost savings and greater efficiency.
