Where do we use concrete block?

Concrete block is mainly associated with the foundations of houses and other buildings, but in practice it has many more uses.
Prepared on a professional processing line, it provides adequate strength, is environmentally neutral and is resistant to harsh weather conditions. Whether as a foundation block or in another role - it ensures the durability of the finished structure.

Popular applications in the construction industry:

With the concrete block, you can skip several stages concerning the maturation of concrete on site - delivered as ready-to-use elements - allowing you to start building, modernising and finishing work immediately.

Ideal for building foundations.
- The footing is often poured using concrete of a specific class, but it can also be made up of blocks when placed on a base layer of so-called lean concrete (maximum strength 10 MPa), with additional reinforcement above and below the blocks.
- Foundation walls under or above the ground surface are built quickly thanks to the form-fitting shape of the prefabricated elements and the ability to cut them conveniently. With high-grade adhesive or cement mortar, the work will be completed on time and the foundation will be ready for further activities.
- The use of concrete blocks in place of poured foundations dispenses with the need for formwork.
Reliable for building basement walls.
- It adapts to the design of the upper storeys. When the masonry of a two-layer wall is needed, prepared, among other things, for an insulation layer, concrete blocks will certainly do the job.
- In contrast to cellular concrete and hollow blocks with large voids, the concrete block is not absorbent and retains its resistance to groundwater with an adequate insulation layer.
Suitable for the construction of structural and partition walls.
- Comfortable construction of structural walls is important for both the contractor and the future owner of the building in question. The use of modern mortars additionally shortens the execution time and the transition to further work stages.
- The subject of partition walls applies to newly constructed buildings, but also to renovation, modernisation and adaptation work. Particularly in large, multi-storey buildings, concrete blocks are a significant improvement.

About concrete block in the context of fence foundations, posts and walls:

Working with a manufacturer of paving blocks and concrete elements also means that solid fences can be ordered.

First of all, it is worth paying attention to the foundations. They come in different forms depending on the type of fencing, a certain height, one or two layers. Blocks mean the freedom to lay foundations on any soil, when adequate stabilisation is provided, for example in the form of dense concrete.

Then the posts can be made, for the setting of which it is also advisable to use ready-made blocks. This is an economical version compared to slate, clinker and other fences, and at the same time aesthetically pleasing, matching simple, modern buildings. Between the posts, wickets, panels and gate spans or fencing mesh are fixed.

The base on sloping ground may also be small retaining walls. They have two functions: they stabilise the slope, preventing landslides, and at the same time serve as a solid foundation for the above-mentioned spans, panels and fencing mesh.

Where concrete block is used, solid structures will be created.

Based on the example of completed and ongoing realisation projects from Bialystok, we know that the popularity of the blocks is just as high among companies building houses for private individuals as it is among developers involved in larger-scale construction.

Whatever your needs, choose only a robust product range that meets the top-down standards. This guarantees successful implementation and the safety of future users.
