Blocks

About Our Blocks

We have concrete blocks that are designed for strength, stability, and versatility across a wide range of construction projects. From dense concrete blocks for load bearing walls to aerated and lightweight alternatives for insulation and ease of handling, our blocks are compatible with a variety of residential and commercial projects.

Each construction block type is sourced for quality and consistency, ensuring dependable results on site. We offer bulk quantities available for delivery and the option to manage your orders through your trade account.

Our Range of Concrete Building Blocks

Ourblock range includes three key types of masonry block, each selected for specific applications and performance requirements.

Solid Dense Concrete Blocks

Our solid dense concrete blocks offer exceptional strength and durability, making them ideal for load bearing walls, foundations, and retaining structures. Their density provides excellent sound insulation and impact resistance, which makes them a useful option for both internal and external use.

They are commonly used for cavity walls, foundations, retaining walls, boundary structures, and projects that require high compressive strength.

Dense blocks are practical due to being easy to handle and can be finished with plaster, render, or cladding to provide a smooth and lasting surface.

Aerated Concrete Blocks

Our aerated concrete blocks offer the combination of lightweight design and fantastic thermal insulation properties.

They are manufactured with small air pockets throughout, reducing heat loss and making handling easier on site. Although they are lower in weight, aerated blocks still offer good compressive strength for general wall construction.

They are ideal for internal and external walling, as well as partition and cavity wall construction. They are a good option if your project is one that heavily prioritises insulation and thermal efficiency.

Aerated blocks are commonly used for housing projects and renovations in which energy performance and speed of build are key.

Lightweight Blocks

Our lightweight blocks are designed for easy handling and reduced load bearing requirements. They provide a balance between strength and workability, suitable for non structural walls, internal partitions, and general building work.

Common applications include internal walls, partitions, cavity wall infill, and projects requiring speedy installation and straightforward cutting.

Lightweight blocks are a practical choice where movement and ease of use are needed, but they don’t compromise on stability.
