Types of Concrete Blocks

Everyone knows that concrete building blocks are primarily used as a building material in the construction of homes, offices, skyscraper, and so on. Basically, they are concrete Masonry units that are used in the construction industry to form a concrete block structure.

These concrete building blocks are basically made up of concrete and aggregates. Sometimes, these blocks can also be made from sand and fine gravel mixed with cement and aggregate for high-density blocks. Moreover, you can make expanded clay aggregate blocks which are much lighter in weight compared to other building blocks.

Concrete Bricks

These are basically small rectangular blocks that are arranged and piled systematically to create a rigid wall. These concrete bricks are made up by heating clay or concrete. These type of bricks are generally used in building fences and facades.

Are Epoxy Floors the Best Material for Industrial Buildings?

What is epoxy?

Epoxy is an adhesive, plastic material made from a class of synthetic thermosetting polymers that contains epoxide groups.

And with the help of combining the epoxy resins and hardeners or the so-called epoxy “systems,” it reacts to form a rigid plastic material.  These combinations result in a final material that is strong, durable, extremely bond, and resistant to most base layers.

So if you are to apply this epoxy “systems” to a concrete flooring it will create strong flooring that can withstand a heavy, strong impact from an industrial setting.

Industrial floorings also play an important role in industries' productivity. Aside from the machineries, equipment, and manpower that contribute to good production, the industrial floorings’ condition also helps a better working environment.

In every industrial building, warehouses, and another facility, the floors always have this area where they put up heavy loads. So the floors receive a high impact and extreme abrasion that causes the floors to be damaged.

If the floors are damaged, it might cause problems and accidents.  Moreover, if the concrete slab surface often receives a strong impact and abrasion, it might lead to crack, buckle, or deteriorated floors.

Accidents also can happen if the flooring is not in a good condition.
