Cool block

Anyone got a recent price on cool blocks? Thanks.

It depends on the brand and size. Best you go in person and price locally. Shipping blocks is a cost to consider. Any dealer can order any size, but they most often get a full truckload from the plant. You might check out the web sites for Q Con, Diamond Block, Thai Con, SuperBlock, to understand the sizes and how many are shipped on a pallet of each size. Mortar, render, special saw, are worth getting prices in person locally.  I paid more money in 2007 to Buriram Home Mart than autoclaved blocks cost in 2018.  One of the very few building materials I see that has gone down in cost. Lintels for above doors and windows are easy for any builders merchants to order.

Prices in this photo including delivery in Buriram province of autoclaved AAC aerated wall blocks in various sizes. This is a January 2018 price of this building material in Isaan Thailand. Some brands might cost less, some brands might cost more. Delivery is included at some builders merchants stores in Thailand and most all chain stores including Global House, Thai Watsadu, Do Home, Home Hub, Home mart will have a fair set fee for delivery charges of bulk building products including hebel type aac wall blocks.

Rather than use the 15  superblock we used  a  7.5 double wall with a cavity.  except for a litle additional labor, the price was the same or less.  and the 7.5 are more readily available .

we used small fillers in between to seal the cavity and glue them together for extra strength.

This type of system provides superior thermal and sound insulation and hides the columns..

Thanks, I'll look at that.
