Hollow building blocks, are famous in the construction industry due to its numerous benefits that it presents. It is also, readily available and easy to deploy when needed.
Hollow Concrete blocks have void area larger than twenty five percent, they come in different shapes and sizes. Concrete blocks are example masonry units used in construction world over. Block factories have various types of precast panels used to get different shapes and sizes of hollow blocks used in construction works such as walls of buildings, retaining walls and office buildings.
1. Rapid Execution of Work
Made from moulds that produce blocks of equal shapes, sizes, and weight, it is easy to deploy bricks in construction works, all that is needed is to fit the right block to the right place. Same shape and sizes help to easily assembly them to form any particular shape that is required in construction job.
- Highly durable
oncrete bricks compacted by high pressure and vibration make the blocks very strong, resilient hardened to severe load and weight. - Better Insulation Properties
The air in the hollow of the block, does not allow heat or cold in or out of the building. No wonder hollow block are insulated against heat, dampness and sound. This blocks keeps house cool in summer and warm in winter. - Environmentally friendly
It does not pollute or have any known environment nuisance it constitute to the system. - Cost Efficient
It helps in minimizing construction materials used at a construction site, though minimizes cost of construction. - Low Maintenance
To maintain buildings is not expensive, compare to other building materials that are available. - Conserves Space
Construction of thin walls with this blocks is very common. So, it helps to reduced space used in construction and increase the floor area.
