OVERVIEW

Most of our products come in a 290 mm x 290 mm x 90 mm format with varying voids in the blocks depending on the pattern. Due to the composition of the blocks they are not suitable carrying structural loads and should be used as decorative screens only.

It is important to have the right advice for any installation to ensure the installation is first and foremost safe. Once the necessary level of comfort is achieved through consultation with your bricklayer and/or engineer you then need to ensure the built outcome matches the design requirements.

While there are many applications for our breeze blocks, the most common application is external and internal screen walls. We have developed our blocks with special rebates on two perpendicular edges to enable a wall to be assembled that can accommodate reinforcing steel in the mortar joints for stability.

While every application is different, the diagram below sets out an example of how a wall assembly might be fabricated to provide you with the visual and structural outcome you need. Please do not hesitate to call us to discuss your ideas so as we can work with you to make it come to life.

Recognising that a good portion of the application for our products relates to fences and screen walls we have set up the following outlines for how these walls might typically be composed using a number of different approaches.
