What is another word for cement block?
Pronunciation: [sɪmˈɛnt blˈɒk] (IPA) 
Cement block is a common building material used in construction projects. The term "cement block" is often used interchangeably with "concrete block," "cinder block," and "concrete masonry unit (CMU)." These terms are synonyms for cement blocks and refer to the same material.
Cinder blocks were the original type of cement block and were made from a blend of cement, water, and cinders or ash. Today's concrete blocks may contain different aggregates, such as gravel, sand, or crushed stone.
CMUs are the most technical term for cement blocks and are specific to the North American market. These blocks come in different sizes and shapes and are designed to resist structural loads during construction.
Regardless of the term used, cement blocks are a versatile and durable construction material.
