An improved insulating block that offers great structural strength by having an interconnected block material structure with cavities filled with insulating material. The paths from the front face to the back face of the block through the block material are adapted to ensure an improved thermal insulation of the block, while providing a high load bearing capacity and allowing continuation of longitudinal reinforcement. This results in a block that can be easily manipulated and handled. Furthermore, the invention provides a method of manufacturing and a use of said blocks, and a wall or structure of said blocks.
