Technical Information

Our blocks are produced in two main forms and in a choice of sizes, strengths and finishes to comply with the general requirement of the end user. They are generally dense aggregate blocks manufactured from a blend of aggregates and Portland cement. Our blocks are suitable for general building work, offering excellent all round performance and normally available in 400 x 200mm face size. In addition to their load-bearing capabilities, they provide an excellent background for plastering and rendering as well as for fixings. Our aggregate blocks come in two forms; solid and hollow blocks. Our range of blocks have a coarse texture for accepting plaster and are not intended to be left fair or painted.

Hollow blocks 

 

Our hollow blocks come in a choice of sizes. The standard work face for our hollow blocks is 400mmx200mm. The hollow blocks come in thickness of 100mm, 140mm and 200mm. These blocks can be used in any part of the project above or below the ground.

Solid blocks

       

The work face of our solid blocks is 400mmx200mm. The thickness (t) is 75mm, 100mm or 140mm. These blocks are particularly beneficial for internal partition walls such as in closets, wardrobes, toilets, kitchens, etc to demarcate one area from another. The blocks may be used in fencing walls.
