Concrete blocks

Concrete blocks are standard masonry units made from cement, sand and aggregate, either solid or hollow. They are larger than bricks, so walls go up faster, and they are used for boundary walls, partitions and low-rise building walls.

Where concrete blocks are used

Boundary and compound walls
Partition walls inside buildings
Walls in low-rise houses and shops
Industrial sheds and warehouses

Benefits

Larger than bricks, so fewer units and joints per square metre of wall
Consistent size reduces mortar and plaster use
Hollow blocks are lighter and the cores can take reinforcement or service runs
Solid blocks give more mass for strength and sound separation

How to choose

Choose hollow for lighter, faster walls and solid where the wall needs more mass or carries more load.
Match the block thickness to the wall: boundary walls and partitions use different thicknesses.
Ask for the sizes currently in production, since the catalogue shows what is available.
Confirm structural requirements with your engineer for load-bearing use.

Questions about concrete blocks

What is the difference between solid and hollow concrete blocks?

Hollow blocks have open cores, so they are lighter, cheaper per block and can take reinforcement or grout in the cores. Solid blocks are heavier and denser, which suits walls that need more mass or carry more load.

Can concrete blocks be used for boundary walls?

Yes. Concrete blocks are widely used for boundary walls. Wall height, wind exposure and soil conditions decide the thickness and any reinforcement, so confirm these with your contractor or engineer.
