Hollow Block 6 inch

Cement interlock bricks are pre-cast, solid concrete blocks designed to lock into each other without mortar, using ridges and grooves to create a stable, strong structure. They are made from a mixture of cement, sand, and stone dust, compressed using a hydraulic machine, and cured for durability. The interlocking design speeds up construction and can reduce the need for plastering, with some varieties also offering earthquake resistance and thermal benefits. 

Manufacturing and design

• Materials: Typically made from a mix of cement, sand, and stone dust or soil.
• Compression: The mixture is compressed in a hydraulic machine to create dense, strong bricks.
• Curing: The bricks are cured for a period after manufacturing to ensure durability.
• Interlocking mechanism: Each brick has a projection on one side to fit into a depression on the next brick, creating a self-locking system. 

Key features

• No mortar needed: The interlocking design allows for dry-laying, which eliminates the need for cement mortar between bricks.
• Fast construction: The self-locking feature allows for quicker wall building compared to traditional bricks.
• Versatile: Used for various types of construction and are available in different shapes and sizes.
• Cost-effective: Reduces costs by saving on cement and labor, and some walls may not require internal plastering. 

Benefits

• Durability: They are durable, strong, and have a long lifespan when properly manufactured and maintained.
• Strength: The tight interlocking joints can provide better resistance to earthquakes than conventional brickwork.
