In Saudi Arabia, common Matkel sizes include lightweight cement blocks around 20 x 20 x 40 cm and lighter blocks around 60 x 20 x 20 cm. Choose based on wall thickness, mortar type, heat resistance, and local building standards.
Yes. If the block has suitable density and low water absorption, it performs well in hot, humid coastal areas like Jeddah and Dammam. Use moisture-resistant mortar, thermal and damp insulation, and a protective exterior paint to maintain stable performance year-round.
Use a ready-mixed dry mortar or a block-specific construction adhesive. The layer should be thin and even, providing strong bond without adding unnecessary thickness. Select the type based on the block, moisture exposure, and project requirements, and allow it to cure fully before painting or insulation.
The count depends on block size and wall thickness. For 20 x 20 x 40 cm cement blocks, a 20 cm wall needs about 12 to 13 blocks per square meter. Larger lightweight blocks reduce the count. For accurate quantities, calculate based on the actual project layout and design.
