中文Volcanic Blocks
Volcanic blocks in sizes from 10cm to 30cm. Made from natural volcanic materials, features natural lightweight and thermal insulation properties.
Usage
Volcanic blocks are used for exterior and interior wall construction, especially in hot climate areas. Many Saudi contractors prefer them for their natural thermal insulation from the high porosity of volcanic materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do the volcanic materials in the blocks come from?
Volcanic materials are sourced from Saudi Arabia's natural lava fields such as Harrat Rahat and Harrat Khaybar. These fully natural materials are lightweight with high porosity, giving the blocks their thermal insulation properties.
Is volcanic block better than autoclaved for insulation?
Both provide good thermal insulation but through different mechanisms. Volcanic blocks rely on natural porosity while autoclaved blocks use trapped air bubbles. The choice depends on availability, price, and project requirements.
What are volcanic blocks made of?
They are made from natural volcanic basalt stone sourced from regions rich in geological volcanic activity.
What are their advantages over other block types?
Natural thermal and sound insulation, fire and moisture resistance, and a longer service life than other block types.
