Pumice blocks (light weight blocks) for construction of walls and slabs. Known as the material used by the Romans 2000 years ago, the pumice block was preferred by the Roman engineers for its durability and permenance. Pumice, which is bims in Turkish, is derived from pumex in Latin, a word meaning foam. Pumice is a volcanic stone composed of eruptions of volcanoes with very high lava. Today’s modern pumice mortars generally consist of pumice stone, sand, pumice and water. Ultra fine pumice powder is also added to this mortar, especially in regular building projects and implementing urban infrastructure brought by urbanization. Pumice concrete blocks are mixed with the mortar of sand and gravel by proportioning at universal standards and then they are printed in various molds. Another advantage of using pumice blocks is the reduction in the materials used for plastering, hence saving cost of cement. Pumice blocks tend to connect with each other creating a tougher structure compared to machine cut stone in the sense that they also hold cement in them unlike machine cut stone.
