Question

Explain advantages of soild concrete blocks over conventional masonry units.

Answer 1

Some Advantages

Concrete homes are common in areas where there is a lot of moisture. Unlike wood, concrete doesn't attract mildew or rot when it's wet for a long period of time. It's also resistant to termites and other critters that damage homes that are constructed with a lot of wood.

Concrete homes are also great for areas that are prone to high winds, tropical storms and hurricanes. They won't be easily toppled over during extreme weather and can withstand winds of over 200 miles an hour. They tend to last for centuries if well maintained, and are fire resistant because cement isn't flammable.
