What is a solid concrete block?

A solid concrete block is a masonry unit made of concrete without hollow cores. It provides mass, strength, and resistance in walls and structural applications.

Why choose a solid dense concrete block over a hollow block?

A solid dense concrete block delivers higher weight and density, giving greater load-bearing capacity, acoustic mass, and fire resistance compared with hollow units of similar size.

What factors affect the price of solid concrete blocks?

Price is influenced by block size, weight, density (e.g. solid dense vs lightweight), compressive strength (e.g. 7.3 N/mm² or 10.4 N/mm²), finish type (standard or paint-grade). Prices also vary by supplier, so it’s a good idea to shop around for the best deal.
