 Have you ever wondered which is better, Hollow blocks or Non Hollow blocks? I do atimes. But now i have discovered the truth about both. Do you know hollow blocks are better? Yes they are. How? Its goes way beyond the looks. 

Here are the advantages of  hollow blocks over it's non hollow counterpart.

• Hollow blocks are more durable

• It has high tensile strength.

• Hollow block needs low maintenance

• The painting and color of hollow blocks withstand many years for external environmental factors.

• The construction speed is high when compare to conventional construction systems since more wall is laid per man hour than in other types

• This cement bricks are fire resistive. It has high fire resistance

• Economical friendly and cheap rates

• It reduces the building costs since hollow units are relatively large in size. Hence minimum joints results in savings in mortar

• The acoustic system of the room is good with hollow cement construction. It has insulation and sound absorption property

• It maintains the thermal balance, air conditioning system of any hollow block construction.

• It reduces the labour cost and total construction construction cost

• High heat and water resistant

• Hollow block construction is technological eco-friendly construction.

• Its no needs of plastering when properly vibrated

• It can be used for both load bearing and non load bearing walls.

• It has an attractive appearance, and adaptable to any style of architecture.
