UAE & International Sales Inquiries 
At Dana Steel UAE, Concrete Blocks are ‘Building Block’ manufactures entirely by concrete under the fencing division. It is then bonded together with mortar to form an imposing long-lasting structure. These building blocks may be ‘Hollow’ or ‘Solid’ constructed either of ordinary or lightweight concrete in various standardized sizes, depending on specific requirements.
These blocks are sometimes applied as a steel unit for walls, posts, fences, signboards, partition, or walls of panels. These are used in places in which bricks and stones of sufficient quality and strength are not commonly available for stemming but which are very easily accessible.
Types of Concrete Blocks
These concrete type blocks are also categorized as:
-
Solid Concrete Blocks
Most often than solids, Hollow concrete blocks are used because:
• Minimize weight overall and are also easier to carry.
• It can be addressed and improved, but also easily fulfills challenging structural needs.
-
Hollow Concrete Blocks
Owing to their extra weight, solid concrete blocks are exceptional in their everyday use. They call for special criteria, needs, and requirements, such as higher fire resistance, when sound absorption is a criterion, or when it is necessary to be impenetrable.
Concrete Block Advantages
-Cost-effective relative to other construction material types.
-Lightweight, which is very useful in a job where heavy manual labor is necessary.
-May also be used to support the cost of power bills as heat- or cold insulation type.
-This is a lasting concrete block, since it is resistant to termites and temperature, as opposed to wood.
-Versatile: Can be used from backyards, partition walls, or even soundproof rooms in a variety of different ways.
Dimensions
The measurements are the length, width, and height of blocks. The nominal dimensions of concrete blocks are referred to. The term “nominal” refers to measurements that include mortar joint thickening.
The Standard sizes are 600 mm L x 400 mm W x 200 mm H and 500mm L x 400 mm W x 200 mm H. But Dana Steel UAE (Division of Dana Groups) also undertake special sizes of blocks up to 1000 mm (i.e. 1 meter) L x 1000mm (i.e. 1 meter) W x 1000mm (i.e. 1 meter) H.
Others appear to vary greatly because of the contractual arrangement between the buyer and the supplier other than the above-described size of the Concrete Block.
