Cinder block blocks are firmly entrenched in the consumer’s rating. This material gained popularity mainly due to its low cost. The main filler for the production of cinder block is slag (metallurgy waste), the most inexpensive of the possible fillers. The block production process in general can determine many block characteristics:
Grade strength of blocks
Thermal conductivity
Resistance to external influences
Dimensional accuracy
The main components in the production of cinder block are:
- slag
— Cement
- Sand
- Auxiliary additivesCinder block is a material for a long service life. It is used for the construction of load-bearing walls of buildings, household buildings, industrial facilities. The cinder block requires additional insulation, as it is a material with good thermal conductivity. A cinder block structure without insulation during the cold season will be characterized by large heat losses.

In the production of cinder block, various materials can serve as a filler: blast-furnace slag, broken / waste brick or concrete, ash and tripoli, expanded clay, screenings and crushed stone, dolomite, sawdust and others. The materials used in production as a filler determine the future thermal conductivity of the blocks. For example, expanded clay blocks give the block lightness, and thermal conductivity improves towards heat saving. Sawdust is often used to build more environmentally friendly buildings, but such blocks are more susceptible to moisture.
The cinder block is divided into the following types:
Hollow with different configuration and size of voids
Solid block
Facing blocks with different textures and colors
Ordinary blocks
Partition and wall
The main differences between cinder blocks and other building materials are its cost, ease of use, variety of sizes and textures, colors (in the case of facing blocks).
We wish our readers and future buyers successful construction.
