What it is

Cement bricks and concrete blocks can be solid or hollow. Larger blocks mean fewer joints and faster walls. Hollow blocks are lighter and can carry conduits inside.

Key points

  • Solid or hollow
  • Larger sizes build faster
  • Strong and uniform
  • Heavier than AAC blocks

Why it matters

They are popular for compound walls and in areas where good clay bricks are scarce.

How Elamentt handles it

Compound walls are often built in cement blocks; the material is written in your quote.
