There are many choices when it comes to structural wall systems for buildings. Some offer innovative new materials and designs, while others are tried-and-true. Often, the best system is the one that delivers solid economic and aesthetic advantages to building owners, designers, and specifiers.

Lightweight blocks for construction

At Al Manaratain, we carry a wide selection of light weight concrete blocks that are useful for a range of building applications. These masonry units are durable, fire-resistant, and provide excellent acoustic insulation.

LECA (r) – Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate Blocks

Unlike traditional bricks, LECA blocks are very lightweight and easy to handle. They are manufactured from high-quality expanded clay aggregate that has a high bearing capacity and exceptional thermal insulation properties.

AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) – Cellular Concrete Blocks

The lightweight nature of AAC blocks means that they are more resistant to damage and warping than conventional bricks. They also require less maintenance.

AAC is a combination of different grades of fly ash, sand, water, and foaming agents. It provides high strength, insulation, fire resistance, and eco-friendly construction.

Fused masonry – lintels and U-shaped bond beam blocks are another type of light weight block. They’re available in a range of sizes and colors and can be used for interior walls, pillars, and steel infill panels.

Paving blocks are square or rectangular solid blocks that can be used for paving, roads, and walkways. They’re usually brick-shaped and available in a variety of sizes and colors.
