FAQ
Common questions about our concrete blocks
What sizes of concrete blocks does GKV Concrete Blocks manufacture?
We manufacture concrete blocks in three sizes: 4 inch blocks, 6 inch blocks and 8 inch blocks. The size refers to the thickness of the block. Every block is 8 inches high. 4 inch blocks are 15 inches long, and 6 inch and 8 inch blocks are 12 inches long.
What are the full measurements of each block?
4 inch blocks measure 4 inches wide (thick) x 8 inches high x 15 inches long. 6 inch blocks measure 6 inches wide x 8 inches high x 12 inches long. 8 inch blocks measure 8 inches wide x 8 inches high x 12 inches long.
Which block size should I choose for my wall?
As a general guide, 4 inch blocks are commonly used for inside partition walls, 6 inch blocks for outer walls and compound walls, and 8 inch blocks where a thicker, heavier wall is needed. The right size depends on your building design, so please confirm with your engineer or mason before ordering.
How many concrete blocks do I need for 100 square feet of wall?
It depends on the block length. A 4 inch block has a 15 inch x 8 inch face, so you need roughly 120 blocks for every 100 square feet of wall. 6 inch and 8 inch blocks have a 12 inch x 8 inch face, so you need roughly 150 blocks for every 100 square feet. Add a little extra for cutting and breakage.
What is the difference between solid blocks and hollow blocks?
Solid blocks are filled concrete all the way through, so they are heavier and dense. Hollow blocks have open cavities inside, which makes them lighter to handle. Call us to check which type is in stock in the size you need.
Are cement blocks and concrete blocks the same thing?
Yes. In Kollam, people use the names cement blocks, concrete blocks and solid blocks for the same product: a block made from cement and aggregates, pressed in a mould and cured.
What is the price of concrete blocks in Kollam?
The price depends on the block size and the quantity you need, and it changes when cement and material costs change. Call us on 94475 32600 for today's price for 4 inch, 6 inch and 8 inch blocks.
