Masonry hollow blocks offer several advantages over solid blocks, primarily due to their lighter weight, which makes them easier to handle and reduces transportation costs. They also provide better insulation properties, contributing to energy efficiency by maintaining more consistent indoor temperatures. Additionally, the hollow cores can be filled with concrete or reinforced with steel, enhancing structural strength while still allowing for reduced material usage. This versatility makes hollow blocks a popular choice in construction.
A miter saw is commonly used to cut stretcher bars at a 45-degree angle to create stretcher bar joints. A manual or pneumatic staple gun is then usually used to secure the joints with staples. For larger-scale production, specialized stretching machines may also be employed.
