Lightweight concrete blocks can be made with pumice. These blocks are used for walls that do not carry much load. The average weight of these blocks is 10.0 – 12.7 kg. In these, expansive clay is used instead of sand and gravel. While the average weight of a typical concrete block is between 17.2 and 19.5 kg, the weight of a slag block is between 11.8 and 15.0 kg.Īnother type of block is lightweight concrete blocks. The blocks generated right are called slag blocks. Granulated coal or slag can be used instead of sand and gravel in concrete block making. We have tried to make sure this is clear when ordering.How To Make Concrete Blocks ? Which Process Is Followed ? Some items in construction and landscaping are not always easy to handle and need either assistance or a crane to load/unload the materials.
CONCRETE BLOCKS FULL
We have a range of machinery on site to load your materials onto your vehicle whether it be loose or bulk bagged aggregates, part or full pallets of bricks or blocks and if you are in a hurry please ring in advance and we can prepare your order to save you time when collecting. You will need your order number and the card you used to pay online. These items are expected to be in stock most of the time (sometimes lead times do get extended and we are unable to have a 100% stock holding 100% of the time). If you have any special delivery requirements please let us know. They will not be able to deliver with a crane offload lorry. With most haulier deliveries this will be either in a van or in a box lorry with a pump truck. This means the product will either come from ourselves or it will come from a 3rd party stockist. Many of our products can be sent anywhere in the country, either by post or by a haulier.
