FACTS ABOUT CLAY BLOCKS
Reduce your material costs by using less plaster
Save on materials! The ridges on the clay blocks allow mortar to adhere easier, saving money and time by reducing wastage on materials or application to the clay blocks.
Clay Blocks dry faster than concrete blocks, so projects finish faster
Move into your property faster with Abel Clay Blocks! When plastered, Abel Clay Blocks dry faster than concrete blocks, so projects finish faster and masonry work costs are reduced. Abel Clay Blocks are also lighter than concrete blocks, so they are easier to handle allowing more blocks to be laid in less time.
Lower labour costs with more blocks per load
Less transport, less cost! Given the weight restrictions of transport vehicles and the individual weight of Clay vs Concrete blocks, Abel Clay blocks are overall lighter than concrete blocks allowing 44% more covered surface area per truckload. Builders and home owners save on the amount of truckloads of clay blocks transported for each project.
Withstands Fire Longer
Abel clay blocks have a 70% higher thermal resistivity than concrete blocks so it withstands fire longer than any other standard material.
Reduce sound transmission
Abel clay blocks large cores reduces sound transmission allowing you peaceful days and restful nights.
Large cores keep buildings cooler for longer
Abel clay blocks large cores keep buildings cooler for longer. The porous nature of clay allows the unrestricted passage of cool air through your walls, instead of trapping heat like walls built with concrete blocks. Save on your electrical bill when you build with clay blocks knowing that you do not need to turn on your air condition unit as often.
Resists deterioration from soil
Abel Clay Blocks will not deteriorate over time due to the acids and alkali elements in soil, unlike concrete blocks that disintegrate with chemicals in soil. You can rest assured, a foundation built with Abel Clay Blocks will last a lifetime.
Abel Clay Blocks conform to all standards outlined in the TTBS/PC/2323/HCB001 document, CARIRI ASTM C 67-18 standards & TTS 588:2015 HOLLOW CLAY BLOCK STANDARDS
