The concrete blocks produced by Ballut Blocks Ltd for wall construction are available in the following range:
12 inch Block: This unit offers the architect further flexibility in specifying composite block work system that may enhance the bearing capacity of wall.
9 inch 'Double' Block: The block has been developed to meet high high load requirements. Its compressive strenght of 7.00 N/mm2 makes it ideal for such use.
9 inch 'Single' Block: The 9 inch single concrete block has the same 229mm width as that of the 'double' block. However this block has a thinner web section, making it lighter and more economical. It is also suitable for loadbearing construction.
7 and 6 inch Block: These blocks can be utilized for loadbearing partition walls or as part of a cavity wall construction with other concrete block or stone.
4 1/2 inch Block: This is a non loadbearing type of block which is normally used for partitioning. Its thin section saves on space and economy while at the same time it retains excellent sound insulation qualities.
