Benefits of Laterite Stone works
Laterite stones are manual or machine-cut block pieces from the quarries or mines containing lateritic crusts.
Laterite is a soft rock composed of iron & aluminum oxides as the main ingredient. Due to the weathering actions, in hot & wet tropical areas, lateritic soil gradually gains strength to become a hard mass.
These hard layers of laterite are cut into blocks of required sizes & transported for the building construction works.
2. What are the advantages & disadvantages of laterite stone blocks?
Advantages:
1. They keep the building cool in the summer season as they are quarried natural stones.
2. Laterite stones have good thermal insulation properties.
3. The stone provides a rustic natural look to the building.
4. The stone hardens & gains strength as time progresses.
5. Due to its larger size, it is cost-effective by reducing labor & other material charges.
6. Plastering is not compulsory for laterite masonry works.
7. Environment friendly as they do not emit CO2 & greenhouse gases.
2. How laterite stone blocks are made?
Nowadays, laterite stone blocks are cut by using machines as shown in the image below.

The line is drawn in both the axis over the cutting ground & the string is tied as a boundary marker. The machine moves over the railing Patti, cutting the laterite layer in a straight given line. Once the stone is cut as per the required size in both the axis, the stone blocks are pulled out using a spade & pickaxe.

3. What are the available dimensions of laterite stone blocks?
The laterite stones as such do not come in a defined dimension.
The size of the laterite stone block varies depending upon the locality, cutting process, & hardness of the laterite layer.
For your reference, I am giving some of the available sizes as below.
