Types of Cement Bricks

Cement bricks, otherwise known as concrete bricks, come in all sorts of shapes and supports. They are made from a variety of mixtures of cement, sand, and water. Popular shapes of cement bricks for sale include hollow blocks or engineering bricks, solid blocks, facing bricks, and bricks made for edges or curves. Cement blocks also vary by grade, which is the level of strength and durability each brick has. Grade A is considered the strongest and is commonly used for construction, whereas grade C is the weakest and used for non load bearing projects. Common cement brick colors include gray, red, white, brown, and beige. Though commonly gray, cement bricks can change color over time due to weathering and sunlight or change based on the sand used in the mixture. Though uncommon, dyes can also be added into cement mixtures for more unique colors to match specific construction or decoration jobs. Cement bricks can also come with stronger weather resistant properties, porous properties, and easy to stack shapes for quick building.

Cement Brick Sizes

Cement brick sizing will vary based on the shape of the brick and the intended use of the block. However, the most common size of bricks abides by nominal dimensions or the standard unit for building and planning. The nominal dimension for cement bricks is 8 inches by 16 inches for a standard block. Cement bricks can also be sized based on actual dimensions, which is what they measure after manufacturing. Brick sizes can also vary based on specified dimensions, which is sizing based on the architect's vision instead of a standard nominal protocol. Cement bricks made with curves, holes, or unique shapes can range in size from standard nominal dimensions to a large King sizing. Height, width, and length can also vary based on the intended position of the brick in construction.
