These heavy weight interlocking gray blocks are uniform in texture size and color while being dimensional and accurate.
Cinder block concrete block types.
Concrete blocks on the other hand are usually two dimensional constructions made of steel wood or cement.
They are divided into pier stretcher sash hollow return corner and 45 angle.
The dimensions range from 4 x4 x8 to 8 x12 x16 with angle blocks reaching up to 21 long.
Consequently cinder blocks are much lighter in weight than concrete blocks.
Today there are at least 32 different shapes and dimensions of cinder block.
Concrete blocks often on the other hand are flattened constructs made of steel wood or cement.
Some building codes explicitly require the use of cinder blocks in construction projects.

Types of cinder blocks.
This heavy weight solid block is uniformly square and free of large chips.
If it is a high density cinder block the sand and fine gravel aggregate is mixed with the cast concrete and if it is a low density cinder block the fly ash or bottom ash aggregate is mixed with the cast concrete.
Depending on if high density or low density cinder blocks are produced the cast concrete is mixed with the ideal aggregate for the different type of cinder block.
Cinder blocks are hollow rectangle shaped structures usually made of concrete and coal cinders which find use in construction sites.
