Concrete Blocks

Concrete blocks, also known as concrete masonry units (CMUs), are large, solid blocks made from a mixture of cement, aggregate (like gravel or sand), and water. They are commonly used in construction for building walls, foundations, and other structures due to their strength, durability, and fire resistance. Typically rectangular, they can be hollow or solid, and are laid in a pattern with mortar to form a sturdy, stable wall. Concrete blocks are an economical and versatile building material that provide structural support and can be finished with various surface treatments.
