Concrete Blocks

Concrete blocks — solid, hollow and autoclaved aerated (AAC) — give you a much larger unit than a brick, so a mason lays a wall faster with fewer joints and less mortar.

AAC blocks in particular are a third the weight of masonry for the same wall, which cuts the dead load on the frame and improves thermal insulation noticeably in hot climates.

Typical units: piece, cum. Higher per-piece cost than bricks but usually lower installed cost per square metre.

• Infill and partition walls in RCC framed buildings
• Load-bearing walls where the block grade permits
• Boundary and compound walls
• Fire-rated separating walls

Solid concrete block

Higher strength, load-bearing capable.

Hollow concrete block

Lighter, faster, good for partitions and boundary walls.

AAC block

Lightweight aerated block with excellent thermal and acoustic performance.

• Compare on cost per square metre of finished wall — a block that costs five times a brick may still be cheaper installed.
• AAC needs thin-bed adhesive rather than thick cement mortar; budget for it or you lose the advantage.
• Check block moisture content on delivery — freshly cured blocks shrink and crack the plaster.
• Confirm compressive strength grade against the structural drawing before ordering for load-bearing walls.
