What are the standard concrete block sizes used in Saudi Arabia?

Youmats supplies standard hollow block sizes tailored to Saudi wall requirements. We offer 10cm blocks for non-load-bearing partitions, 15cm for medium-duty walls, and 20cm for structural load-bearing applications. All dimensions align with local engineering codes to ensure stability and smooth installation across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam.

Which is better for Saudi summers: standard or insulated concrete blocks?

Insulated hollow blocks significantly outperform standard blocks in Saudi’s extreme summer heat. Their internal air voids reduce thermal transfer, cutting AC costs and improving indoor comfort. For residential and commercial projects in high-temperature regions, insulated blocks are highly recommended to minimize HVAC strain and enhance long-term energy efficiency.

How do I calculate the number of blocks needed per square meter of wall?

Divide your total wall area by the face area of a single block, accounting for standard mortar joints. A 10cm thick wall typically requires 18 to 20 blocks per square meter. We recommend ordering a 5 to 10 percent surplus to cover cutting waste and on-site adjustments during construction.

Do Youmats concrete blocks meet Saudi SASO quality standards?

Yes, every Youmats block undergoes rigorous compression and durability testing certified by SASO. We provide technical compliance certificates with each delivery to guarantee crack-free walls and structural longevity. Our products strictly follow Saudi building regulations, ensuring your construction project meets all official engineering and safety requirements.

Is site delivery included in the block price for remote Saudi locations?

Delivery terms depend on order volume and distance from our main warehouses. We offer subsidized transport for major projects in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. For remote regions, freight costs are calculated separately based on truck capacity. Our logistics team coordinates schedules to prevent construction delays.
