Types of Masonry Block Walls
Concrete Blocks (Concrete Masonry Units - CMUs)
These are one of the most commonly used blocks in construction. They are made from a mixture of cement, aggregates (sand, gravel), and water. Concrete blocks come in various sizes, shapes, and densities, allowing for different load-bearing capacities.
Retaining Wall Masonry Blocks
These specialized blocks are designed to create stable and sturdy retaining walls to hold back soil and prevent erosion
Masonry Clay Bricks
Clay bricks are made from natural clay, molded into shape, and then fired in a kiln. They are widely used for both load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls due to their durability, fire resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
Masonry Decorative Blocks
Blocks with unique patterns, textures, or designs are used for decorative purposes in walls or as architectural features.
Masonry Fly Ash Bricks
These bricks are made from a combination of fly ash (a waste product of coal combustion) and cement or lime. They are environmentally friendly and provide good thermal insulation.
Interlocking Concrete Masonry Blocks
These blocks have unique shapes that allow them to interlock with each other, providing added stability without the need for mortar.
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Masonry Blocks
AAC blocks are lightweight, precast blocks made from natural ingredients like sand, cement, lime, and gypsum, mixed with an expanding agent. They have excellent thermal and sound insulation properties.
Masonry Pumice Blocks
Pumice blocks are lightweight and have good insulating properties, making them suitable for certain construction applications.
