Solid Blocks

Maximum density where the load demands it

Overview

No voids, no compromise. Specified where a hollow unit would quietly become the weakest element in the assembly.

Solid blocks are what you reach for when the drawing says the wall carries real load, or when the course sits below ground and has to resist both weight and water. There is no void to crush and no shell to spall, so the unit behaves predictably under concentrated load.

They are heavier to handle, and that is the trade. You use them where they earn it — foundation courses, retaining sections, plinths, and walling that carries a slab above — and you use hollow units everywhere else.

Where it is used

Applications

Foundation courses

Below-ground work that has to resist load and moisture.

Retaining courses

Sections holding back earth or fill.

High-load walling

Walls carrying a slab or concentrated point loads.

Plinths & bases

Solid bases for columns, tanks and equipment.

Common questions

Solid Blocks — asked and answered

Wherever the load is concentrated or the course is below ground — foundations, retaining sections and walling that carries a slab. For general walling above ground, hollow blocks are usually the better value.
In the right position, yes. In the wrong position you are paying for mass you do not need and slowing your masons down. If you are unsure, send us the drawing detail and we will tell you honestly which line fits.
Yes. Most orders mix lines — solid for the foundation courses, hollow above. Give us the split and we will load accordingly.
