Concrete masonry blocks have been in existence for centuries. Revolutionary changes in manufacturing technology and material sciences have made multi sized, shaped, colours and textured blocks a reality. They are used as both structural and non-structural components and have been the preferred building blocks in the western world. They are fast replacing traditional bricks and other masonry products in India too.
Concrete Masonry Blocks can either be
- Hollow or Solid
- Load Bearing or Non-load Bearing
- Light weight or Dense
SHIEELD concrete blocks are used in low and high rise buildings, for basements, exterior and interior walls and partitions.

ADVANTAGES OF USING CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCKS
- REDUCTION IN DEAD LOAD :- Hollow block weight approx. 1000 to 1400 kg. Per Cum. Including mortar whereas brick masonry has approx. 2100 kg. Per Sqm. Including mortar.
- REDUCED AIR CONDITIONING LOAD :- Approx. 50% saving.
- NO SALT PETER OR LEACHING:- Reduction in maintenance.
- INCREASED CARPET AREA :- Due to smaller in size.
- FASTER CONSTRUCTION :- Easy to work with bigger in size.
- ASSURED QUALITY :- Fully automatic block plant with concrete batching plant & steam curing system.
- BETTER SOUND ABSORPTION :- Being hollow in nature.
- REDUCED THICKNESS OF PLASTER :- Due to size accuracy & less cement consumption due to less joints.
- LOAD BEARING WALLS :- Due to higher strength of blocks.
- LOAD BEARING WALLS :- Due to higher strength of blocks.
- RECOMMENDED FOR EARTH QUAKE RESISTANCE.
- LESS WATER ABSORPTION :- Approx. 3 to 4 %.
- ENVIRONMENTAL ECO-FRIENDLY.
- REDUCE IN TOTAL COST OF PROJECT :-Being less dead load of walls.
ADVANTAGES OF USING CONCRETE SOLID BLOCKS
- Solid blocks have Superior compression strength.
- Solid blocks has high fire resistance.
- Natural thermal insulation and sound absorption property.
- Environment -friendly.
- Solid blocks are large in size. Hence minimum joints Reduce cement mortar consumption by 60 %.
- Improves labour productivity by 500%, reducing labour costs.
- Saves cement in masonry work & reduces cost of construction.
- High value with high quality and low price.
- Loading Bearing Blocks.
- Average compressive strength at 28 days 200 kg/cm.
- Water absorption in 24 hours Less than 10% by weight of block.
