Concrete Block
Precast concrete masonry units (CMU) manufactured from cement, aggregate, and water, molded into hollow or solid rectangular blocks. Available in various sizes, strengths, and densities, concrete blocks are widely used for structural walls, foundations, and partition walls. They offer good thermal mass, fire resistance, and can be reinforced with steel for increased structural capacity.
