List of featured suppliers of BLOCKS Composite Construction on Building Products Index

Blocks, composite construction refers to the process of combining different materials such as concrete, steel, and timber to create a single structural element. This technique is commonly used in the construction industry to achieve strength, stability, and other desired properties that may not be achievable with a single material. The process of creating a composite block involves carefully selecting and arranging the materials, ensuring they are compatible and can work together to withstand the loads and stresses placed upon them. The resulting block is typically stronger and better suited for its intended use than any of the individual materials could achieve on their own.
