Information on the purpose of the calculator
The online calculator for calculating ceramic blocks is designed to calculate the required number and volume of ceramic blocks with the specified parameters of external walls. The calculator will automatically calculate the required amount of mortar and dry masonry glue, the amount of masonry mesh and the load on the foundation. The calculation is made using the most popular sizes of ceramic blocks, such companies as Porotherm, PORIKAM, RAUF, Poromax and other manufacturers.

Clay has been used by people as a building material throughout the existence of human civilization. And today this material, which has excellent qualities, is relevant for use for these purposes.
Red or clay brick is a very prestigious material, since houses made of it have been standing for centuries and have long retained the strength of the structure, and its original shape and dimensions. Today clay is used to create new building materials. Such material is ceramic blocks.
Ceramic blocks are considered a relatively new material. They appeared about three decades ago. Their advantages are the same as those of the original natural materials. Excellent thermal insulation qualities, simple technology of use and high masonry speed quickly gained popularity among builders. The material has the same best qualities as red clay bricks.
Ceramic blocks have a porous structure, and just like red bricks, they can absorb and give off moisture, creating an optimal microclimate inside the room.
The manufacturing technology of ceramic blocks is as follows: clay is mixed with sawdust in a certain proportion calculated automatically. Then blocks are formed from this mixture, which in turn are fired in a furnace at a temperature reaching 1000 ° C. During firing, the sawdust burns out completely, leaving small pores in its place.
It is these pores that make ceramic blocks such an excellent heat insulator. But this material not only retains the internal heat of the house, but also absorbs the heat of the sun, and then gradually all the accumulated heat is given into the room. In a house made of ceramic blocks, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, besides, the material is capable of absorbing excess moisture from the air, giving it back to the room in a drier climate, maintaining the humidity balance at the proper level.
Ceramic blocks do not burn.
They have the properties of a good sound insulation.
They have the strength of a good building structural material.
The larger size of the ceramic block compared to the brick significantly reduces the construction time, reduces the amount of mortar consumed.
The laying of ceramic blocks is no more complicated than that of ordinary bricks.
But only experienced masons will be able to achieve good results in this matter and a beautiful appearance of the finished wall. And instead of the usual cement mortar, it is more desirable to use a special masonry glue. In this case, the heat loss of the finished walls will be much lower.
The following is a complete list of calculations performed with a brief description of each item.
General information on the results of calculations
Number of ceramic blocks
- The total number of ceramic blocks required for the construction of walls according to the specified parameters
Perimeter of the building
- The total length of all the walls taken into account in the calculations.
Total masonry area
- The area of the outside of the walls. Corresponds to the area of the necessary insulation, if such is provided by the project.
Wall thickness
- The thickness of the finished wall, taking into account the thickness of the mortar seam. It may differ slightly from the final result depending on the type of masonry.
Total weight of ceramic blocks
- Weight of ceramic blocks excluding mortar and masonry mesh. As well as the total volume, it is necessary to choose the delivery option.
Quantity of concrete mortar for the entire masonry
- The volume of mortar required for laying all ceramic blocks. The volumetric weight of the solution may vary depending on the ratio of the components and the additives introduced.
Number of rows of ceramic blocks in the masonry, taking into account the seams
- Depends on the height of the walls, the size of the material used and the thickness of the masonry mortar. Excluding pediments.
Number of construction masonry mesh
- The required amount of masonry mesh in linear meters. It is used for reinforcing masonry, increasing the solidity and overall strength of the structure. Pay attention to the number of reinforced rows, by default, the reinforcement of each third row is specified.
Approximate weight of finished walls
- The weight of the finished walls, taking into account all ceramic blocks, mortar and masonry mesh, but without taking into account the weight of insulation and cladding.
The load on the foundation from the walls
- Load without taking into account the weight of the roof and ceilings. This parameter is necessary to select the strength characteristics of the foundation.
To calculate the blocks for partitions, you need to start a new calculation and specify the length of only all partitions, the thickness of the walls in half of the block, as well as other necessary parameters.
