How Thick Is a Hollow Block?

Published in Construction Materials 1 min read

Hollow blocks are typically available in thicknesses of 140mm and 215mm.

These dimensions are common for standard hollow blocks used in construction, particularly in applications such as:

  • Reinforced Concrete Walls: Hollow blocks are frequently used where reinforced concrete walls are required.
  • Agricultural Buildings: They are also suitable for agricultural building construction.
  • Rendering: The standard finish of these blocks makes them suitable for rendering.

It's important to note that while 140mm and 215mm are standard thicknesses, other sizes might be available depending on the specific manufacturer and regional building codes. Face sizes are generally 440mm x 215mm, with the thickness being the variable dimension. Always confirm dimensions with your supplier and ensure compliance with local regulations.
