What Are the Advantages of Block Built Walls
If you are planning a home remodel any time in the future, you will need to decide on materials you want to use, as different building materials are needed for different jobs. However, when it comes to wall construction, as in almost any kind of project, there are many materials you could choose from, but commonly, for walls, the most popular material is concrete, and concrete block walls are extremely resistant to fluctuating weather conditions and can withstand floods, high heat, and severe winds, and, as an added bonus, concrete is fire resistant, meaning your home will be protected against fire.
Here are some more advantages of concrete block walls:
Design Flexibility
One of the biggest advantages of using a concrete block wall is it can take on almost any shape, so it is likely the finished product will look like the design you pictured in your mind.
Strength
When compared to other building materials such as wood, a concrete block wall is much stronger. The benefit to this is, for example, if you are planning to build a block retaining wall on a concrete patio, it is more resistant to any type of damage.
Energy efficiency
A concrete block wall is more energy-efficient than any other building material, as it keeps the interior of your home cool in the summer, and retains heat in the winter.
Resistant to severe weather conditions
Because of its innate strength, concrete block walls are extremely resistant to severe weather conditions that include floods, high heat, and gale-force winds, and, as mentioned earlier, concrete is by nature very fire-resistant, which means your home is covered in case of a fire emergency.
