Cinder Block
A masonry block often used in the construction of the interior walls of houses and low-rise buildings.
This is because moisture will cause cinder block to deteriorate.
Each cinder block usually has a hollow center that is divided into three. One block usually measures 8" x 8" x
16" in size.
Cinder block is made of crushed cinders and Portland cement. It is lighter and has a higher insulation
value than concrete block.
