What you need to know about interlocking blocks - Longer lasting, saving you money and time.

Interlocking blocks are increasingly being used in construction in various places of the world due to their nature to ease construction. They are usually characterised by a tongue and groove mechanism that has the ability to hold the block in place hence requiring little to no mortar in between the blocks. They basically have protrusions that fit in the depressions on the next block.
They are noted to be notably cheaper due to their ease in installation and the fact that they are easy to produce in most cases. Some variations are very smooth and actually may not require plastering. These advantages can aggregate and make the construction using this choice about 35% cheaper on walls than typical masonry or brick. In cases where one can make the blocks themselves, the cost of construction of walls is drastically reduced.
But questions still arise on the use of interlocking blocks. Are they structurally sound? Are they able to regulate sound? Will water seep in between the joints on interlocking structures? With the many types of blocks that exist, what are the best blocks? Are they environmentally friendly and sustainable?
Types of interlocking blocks
There are two main types of interlocking blocks, depending on material. These are concrete blocks and stabilised soil blocks. Concrete blocks come in two types too:
a. Rough finished block - This interlocking block is usually characterised by a rough finish on its surface due to the type of mix that has been used to make it. The advantage is they can be made quickly and therefore end up fetching a lower price. They are suitable for most construction areas but they may require further plastering to ensure smooth surfaces
