For substantial masonry construction where strength and wall thickness are important, the 215mm Hollow Dense Concrete Block 7.3N provides a practical solution for structural and general building applications. Combining dense concrete construction with a hollow core design, these blocks are suitable for a range of load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls where specified by the building design.
Manufactured from dense concrete, the blocks have a compressive strength rating of 7.3N/mm², making them suitable for masonry projects requiring a defined level of strength. The hollow sections reduce the amount of concrete required compared with an equivalent fully solid block and can accommodate reinforcement or concrete infill where the structural design and block specification permit.
The substantial 215mm thickness makes these blocks particularly useful for wider masonry walls, retaining structures and other construction projects requiring a robust wall section. Their hollow design can also make them suitable for reinforced blockwork systems, although reinforcement arrangements, infill requirements and load capacities must always be determined by the relevant structural specification.
Dense concrete provides useful durability, thermal mass and sound-insulating characteristics. However, the overall performance of the finished wall depends on the complete construction, including mortar, reinforcement, insulation, finishes and any additional protective measures.
Ideal for professional builders, groundworkers and masonry contractors, 215mm hollow dense concrete blocks are commonly considered for substantial building projects, extensions, outbuildings and other applications requiring heavy-duty blockwork.

Always confirm the full block dimensions, hollow core configuration, weight and applicable product standards before ordering. Structural and retaining wall applications require an appropriate engineering design, particularly where reinforcement, concrete infill, lateral loads or ground pressure are involved. Check manufacturer guidance for below-ground and exposed applications, and use suitable lifting and manual-handling precautions.
