Hollow concrete bricks are a type of building material made of cement, sand, water, and aggregates, molded into rectangular or square shapes with hollow cores. They are similar in composition to solid concrete bricks, but with a lighter weight due to the presence of hollow spaces within the brick.
Hollow concrete bricks are widely used in construction for their lightweight, fire resistance, and insulation properties. They are commonly used in non-load-bearing walls, partition walls, and infill walls, as well as for the construction of chimneys, ventilation shafts, and other architectural features.
Compared to solid concrete bricks, hollow concrete bricks provide better thermal insulation and soundproofing, making them ideal for use in buildings where energy efficiency and noise reduction are important factors. They are also easier to handle and install, reducing labor costs and construction time.
Hollow concrete bricks come in a range of sizes, colors, and textures, allowing for versatility in design and construction. They are a cost-effective and reliable building material that can provide excellent performance and longevity for a wide range of construction projects.
Advantages
-
The hollow blocks are uniform in size and have less weight, which helps to increase the construction speed.
-
High Load Bearing Capacity as they are compacted at high pressure and vibration, withstand to higher loads
-
It has higher fire resistance capacity and less maintenance as it has no salinity
-
The hollow blocks require less construction material which reduces construction costs.
-
With the larger size of hollow blocks, fewer joints and consumes less mortar
-
Has excellent insulating properties against sound, heat and dampness
-
It can handle extreme weather conditions. Not require any protective layer
-
Less or Minimum plaster, Wall putty or POP is required.
