![]() ![]() As a result, they’re commonly employed when two corners are visible. Since both corners are plain, concrete pillar blocks are also known as double corner blocks. They’re also prefabricated and made of pre-stressed concrete. These beams provide structural support by distributing loads from above the beam to the walls on both entry sides. Lintel blocks are joined together to form lintel beams. Concrete corner blocks are placed so that one end of the plane is exposed to the exterior and secured with the stretcher block. One block corner is plain, while the other has a stretcher design. The parallel length of concrete stretcher blocks is put parallel to the face.Ĭoncrete corner blocks are utilized at the masonry’s corners and the ends of windows and doors. Concrete stretcher blocks commonly use hollow concrete blocks. Hollow concrete blocks come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, depending on the shape, needs, and design.Ĭoncrete stretcher blocks are also employed at the masonry’s corners. The nominal size of concrete blocks, according to the ‘Research Designs & Standards Organization of Indian Railways,’ is as follows: Half-sized blocks are cubical and have one core, while full-sized blocks are rectangular and have two cores. Standard hollow concrete blocks come in two sizes: Full size and half size. These blocks reduce the natural weight of masonry structures while also improving physical wall qualities like noise and thermal insulation. It reduces labour costs on the job site while also speeding up the construction process and saving cement and steel. In masonry construction, hollow concrete blocks are typically employed. As a result, constructing concrete masonry takes less time than brick masonry. They’re compared to bricks that come in big sizes. These solid blocks are ideal for large-scale projects such as force-bearing walls. They’re sturdy and give structures a lot of solidities. Solid concrete blocks, which are highly heavyweight and formed by aggregate, are primarily utilized in construction projects. ![]() In concrete blocks, the cement-aggregate ratio is 1:6. Concrete blocks are made from cement, aggregate, and water. 39cm x 19cm x (30cm or 20 cm or 10cm) or 2 inch, 4 inch, 6 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, and 12-inch unit configurations are the most popular concrete block sizes. Concrete blocks come in various shapes and sizes, and they can be solid or hollow. These construction blocks can be ‘Hollow’ or ‘Solid,’ formed of ordinary or lightweight concrete in various specified sizes, depending on the precise requirements. The Gablok concept allows for a seamless transition between the various trades involved in completing your new home.A Concrete Block is a ‘Building Block’ composed entirely of concrete that is then mortared together to make an imposing, long-lasting construction. Their manufacture in advance is a significant time-saver during the construction of your flat-pack timber house, avoiding on-site stoppages. ![]() This allows you to order your exterior joinery in advance. The dimensions of your door and window openings are known as soon as you receive your planning permission. The system can be assembled extremely quickly and does not require any drying time. The interior of your self-build will be ready in the first instance for your various technical elements (thanks to the space left between the battens) and in the second instance for finishing (OSB + plasterboard, etc.). Once the insulated blocks are assembled, all that remains is to complete the roof (framework + roofing) and the exterior finishing for your home with the finish of your choice (plaster, brick, cladding, etc.). These are delivered directly to your site with your assembly plan.Īmong other things, this process avoids the excess waste associated with on-site processing. These components are necessary to assemble the shell of the insulated frame of your future building. The Gablok concept is essentially made up of insulated blocks, an adapted floor system, and insulated beams and lintels allowing you to build the exterior and interior walls of your timber house (self-build structure). ![]()
