Ziegelblöcke

Ziegelblöcke, often referred to as concrete blocks or concrete masonry units (CMUs), are construction materials used in building. They are typically manufactured from cement, aggregate such as gravel and sand, and water. The mixture is then cast into molds to create the desired shape and size, and allowed to cure. This process results in a durable and versatile building component. Ziegelblöcke are commonly used for foundations, walls, retaining walls, and structural elements in a wide range of buildings, from residential homes to commercial structures. Their inherent properties include good compressive strength, fire resistance, and thermal mass. They are available in various sizes and configurations, including solid blocks, hollow blocks, and decorative blocks, allowing for diverse architectural and structural applications. The hollow cores of many ziegellöcke can be filled with reinforcement or insulation to enhance their performance characteristics. Their production is generally considered more energy-efficient than some alternative building materials. They are a widely adopted material in construction globally due to their cost-effectiveness and structural integrity.
