Our interlocking concrete blocks have the potential to have 5 blocks stacked upon each other. Our standard-sized blocks are 60cm in height, with 5 stacked together this would equate to 300cm, which is exactly 9 feet & 10.11 inches high. This height is more than enough for applications such as a retaining wall and so much more.

Stacking our interlocking concrete blocks is made easy, safe and secure through the studs and recesses that are on all of our blocks, once they are connected, they are not loose. The beauty of this simple method is that it eliminates the need for cement to bind the blocks together.

Can’t I do the same thing with bricks?

Brick and mortar is a tried and true method for generations, though it’s appropriate for certain situations, it doesn’t mean it is more effective than interlocking concrete blocks in other situations.

Let’s take a retaining wall for example, not only will you need a large amount of bricks, but you’ll need to make sure the foundations are level, individually place each brick whilst making sure it has enough cement on it, this is a time-consuming process and can have you spending more money on resources and workers.

You can make a retaining wall with interlocking concrete blocks with a dramatically shorter window of time, as long as the foundation is generally flat, you just place the blocks with your machinery one after another. No mortar is needed and fewer workers too.

What happens if I stack interlocking concrete blocks too high?

In this instance, stacking blocks too high may make them less stable, this is why interlocking blocks have a certain amount of applications, as wide as they may be. Like with any structure, interlocking concrete blocks can fall if stacked too high, this can be amended with secure and stable foundations, but our blocks are suitable for temporary buildings as opposed to homes.

Are gabion baskets are better alternative?

Gabion baskets don’t have as much application as interlocking concrete blocks, it also depends on the way you use them. Let’s compare them with respect to a retaining wall.

A gabion basket retaining wall will be aesthetically pleasing, especially in an environment surrounded by nature. They are heavy in weight so it will be difficult to move them once they have been placed, due to the rocks that are placed within it.

Gabion baskets are secured by wiring, over time this wiring may rust, it may break or bend under the weight that the numerous rocks within the basket are creating. The way these baskets are made is generally resilient, but you can’t account for what happens once they are placed.

Interlocking Concrete blocks may be more plain-looking, but requires a much smaller amount of effort to prepare and place, you don’t need to find and insert rocks to create the weight of the structure, you generally don’t need to worry about it at all after it is placed, unless there are freak events in nature, or accidents that may affect the area in which it is placed.

How much do interlocking concrete blocks cost?

If you are considering the cost of our interlocking concrete blocks, we encourage you to get in touch. Having a solid idea of what you intend to use the blocks for, including the space they’re going into, and how much you need will make it easier for us to give you a quote.

Understandably, the cost will be dependent on the amount required, and the sizes of the individual blocks you require.

However, if you’re still deciding whether or not to use our blocks, and would like specific questions to be answered in relation to your project, we are happy to provide all the information you need once you get in contact.

How much do interlocking concrete blocks weigh?

In regard to the weight of the blocks, it will vary from size to size, and from the concrete being used. But as an example, 1800 x 600 x 600 concrete block can weigh 1560 kg, this can fluctuate as different types of concrete have different levels of density.
