Building Blocks
What are construction blocks and how do they differ from bricks?
What are construction blocks and how do they differ from bricks?
Construction blocks are larger masonry units, typically made from concrete or dense aggregate, designed for speed of build and structural strength. Unlike smaller bricks, blocks cover more area per unit, reduce mortar joints, and often provide better thermal or sound insulation.
What types of blocks can I choose from?
What types of blocks can I choose from?
Common options include:
- Solid concrete blocks for general structural work
- Hollow or cellular blocks for reduced weight and improved insulation
- Lightweight aerated blocks for thermal efficiency
- Decorative or split-face blocks for exposed walls and feature designs
Are blocks suitable for load-bearing walls?
Are blocks suitable for load-bearing walls?
Yes. Many concrete and aggregate block types are rated for load-bearing use. Always check the specific block’s compressive strength and building regulations for your project to ensure compliance and safety.
Can I render or plaster over blocks?
Can I render or plaster over blocks?
Absolutely. Blocks are often finished with render, plaster, or cladding to improve weather resistance and aesthetics. Applying a suitable breathable render system helps protect the blockwork and gives a crisp, uniform finish.
Do blocks offer any insulation or acoustic benefits?
Do blocks offer any insulation or acoustic benefits?
Certain block types—such as aerated or cavity blocks—provide enhanced thermal insulation and sound reduction compared to standard bricks. Selecting the right block profile can help reduce heating costs and improve acoustic comfort in both internal and external walls.
What considerations are there when laying blocks?
What considerations are there when laying blocks?
Key points include:
- Using a correctly mixed mortar (typically 1:4 cement:sand)
- Maintaining level courses with a spirit level or laser guide
- Incorporating damp-proof courses and wall ties where required
- Allowing adequate curing time before applying finishes
