Delivering the Best Block in Israel

The Ashkalit 268 white block features a unique chemical structure with a higher cement content, delivering superior thermal and acoustic insulation, low capillarity, high strength, and reduced weight. Ashkalit 268 offers a wide range of block types and sizes, providing maximum flexibility for construction needs—from envelope walls and interior partitions to channel blocks, strut blocks, lintel beams, and insulation panels.

The white block’s unique porous structure, low density, and material composition provide excellent acoustic resistance, minimizing noise transfer between spaces while reducing structural load. This enables the creation of complete wall systems ideal for acoustic separation between apartments, offices, hotel rooms, and hospital spaces. The system exceeds Israeli Standard requirements, offering improved acoustic comfort and a better quality of life for residents.

The Ashkalit 268 cement block holds a high energy rating and a Green Label from the Standards Institute of Israel. Made entirely from natural raw materials, it emits significantly lower radiation than the standard allows. Its high air content makes it lightweight, reducing the amount of raw material used per block. Its monolithic structure also allows easy cutting with minimal waste on-site. Even if a structure is demolished, block residues naturally decompose without harming the environment.

Despite its lightweight, airy texture, the Ashkalit white block is one of the strongest and most resilient building materials. Tensile and compressive strength tests show that it meets—and even exceeds—standard requirements. Its low weight reduces the load on the building frame, while its uniform, solid structure enhances resistance to earthquake shocks, unlike hollow blocks that are more prone to cracking.
