Izitena zebhlokhi luhlobo olutsha lwemathiriyeli eludongeni, kunye nembonakalo ye-hexahedron ubukhulu becala kunye neebhloko ezahlukeneyo ezingaqhelekanga. Izitena zebhlokhi zizinto ezenziwe ngekhonkrithi, inkunkuma yamashishini (i-slag, i-powder yamalahle, njl.), okanye inkunkuma yokwakha. Baneempawu zobukhulu obuqhelekileyo, ukubonakala okupheleleyo, kunye nokwakhiwa okufanelekileyo, kwaye bahlangabezana neemfuno zohlaziyo lwendonga ekuphuhliseni ukwakhiwa kwamashishini. Iibhloko kunye neebhloko ezinkulu zisetyenziswa. Xa ukhetha izixhobo zomatshini we-block masonry ngokuzenzekelayo, khetha izixhobo ezinomgangatho ophezulu wokuzenzekelayo, ophucula kakhulu ukusebenza kakuhle kwemveliso.

Umzekelo, izitena block block, izitena self insulation, izitena eziqinileyo, njl ezisetyenziswa ekwakheni, ukuthambeka amanzi, izitena ezinemibala (permeable) umphezulu wendlela indawo kamasipala isikwere landscaping, iibhloko zokuhombisa, curbstones, curbstones, kunye nezixhobo ezizenzekelayo ngokupheleleyo block wamatye ukutyala kunye nokufakwa amahashe esilivere angadla izixa ezikhulu inkunkuma yokwakha. Ukuveliswa kwezitena zebhloko njengezinto zokwakha eziluhlaza kunoluhlu lweenzuzo ezinjengokunciphisa ungcoliseko lokusingqongileyo, ukonga iindleko zemveliso, ukunyusa iindleko zezindlu, ukunciphisa ukuxhathisa kwesakhiwo se-seismic, njl njl. I-lightweight yayo, i-thermal insulation, i-sound insulation, i-insulation, i-formaldehyde ikhululekile, i-benzene free, i-pollution-free, i-waterproof, i-mswakama-proof, kunye nezinye iimpawu zikhuthazwa ngamandla elizwe.
