Concrete Blocks in the Saudi context
Hollow concrete blocks are cheapest for structure; AAC thermal blocks cost more but cut cooling load sharply in Saudi summer conditions. Quantity planning: A 20cm block wall takes about 12.5 blocks per square metre. A 100 sqm wall needs roughly 1,250 blocks and 2.5 tons of masonry mortar. Minimum order for delivery in Saudi Arabia: 1 truckload (about 500-800 blocks) for site delivery. Leading brands available on Benna include Bin Quraya, Saudi Block Factory, Al Watania, Ytong AAC.
