Concrete block masonry

Standard block

Made from Portland cement and sand or fine gravel. Used for foundation walls, retaining structures, demising walls and general construction.

Lightweight block

Lighter units that are easier to handle and improve insulation value. Suited to interior partitions and multi-storey buildings where weight matters.

Reinforced and hollow-core walls

Hollow cores reduce weight and accept steel reinforcement and grout, making them the standard choice for load-bearing and shear walls.

Architectural block

Smooth, split-face and ground-face units that deliver a finished surface and structure in one wythe, common on schools, plazas and institutional buildings.

Typical applications

• Load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls
• Schools, commercial plazas and institutional facilities
• Elevator shafts, stair cores, fire separations and service rooms
• Architectural feature walls
