Different types of bricks are used in different construction-based materials such as clay, concrete, fly ash, etc. Different types come along with other properties, uses, and suitability for various construction needs. Concrete Masonry Units refer to as CMU, are blocks used in the construction industry to create a concrete block structure like a fence. These are generally made up of a high level of concrete and certain design mixtures relying on strength and systems. There are many different kinds of cement blocks available in the market; some specific machines such as cement brick making machine China can efficiently create these blocks.
Hollow concrete blocks
Commonly used in the construction industry, hollow concrete blocks are produced using lightweight aggregates with different design loads relying on nature. There are two main kinds of hollow concrete blocks the one is load-bearing concrete hollow blocks, and the other one is non-load bearing hollow concrete blocks, and both can be produced from a regular cement brick making machine.
Solid concrete blocks
The solid concrete blocks are highly denser and bigger than concrete bricks, solid concrete blocks are manufactured to be rigid and heavy. These solid concrete blocks are hard enough to be used in large masonry units as they are load-bearing by nature. Solid concrete blocks are almost similar to concrete brick but are costlier and heavier and can withstand more forces as compared to bricks.
Lintel blocks
These concrete blocks are used in different preparation for lintel beams. These lintel blocks are produced in such a way that it serves as a masonry unit. Aesthetically, lintel blocks are composed of different material which uses reinforcing bars. This is nearly efficient and useful as these machines use other purposes.
Paving Blocks
Paving blocks are generally made up of reinforced concrete. This block is made for paving and road shoulders, these are painted with high-visibility concrete paints created for some specific purpose only.
