IS 2185 (Part 1)
Concrete Block Manufacturer — Solid & Hollow Masonry Blocks
Cement concrete solid blocks are large machine-made masonry blocks — one block does the work of several bricks, so walls go up faster with less mortar. They are dense, uniform and made for the rough handling of a large construction site.
- Faster walling than brick masonry
- Uniform size & strength, block after block
- Hollow blocks also available on request
