Compressed Earth Blocks
Compressed Earth Blocks (CEBs) are building materials made from a mixture of soil, sand, and a small amount of cement or stabilizer. This mixture is compressed into blocks using a hydraulic press, resulting in strong, durable units that can be used for construction. CEBs are eco-friendly, as they utilize natural materials and require less energy to produce compared to traditional fired bricks.
These blocks offer excellent thermal mass, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs. CEBs can be used in various architectural styles and are often employed in sustainable building projects. Their affordability and low environmental impact make them an attractive option for many builders.
