When a masonry project calls for substantial wall construction and dependable compressive strength, 140mm Solid Dense Concrete Blocks rated at 7.3N/mm² offer a robust solution. Their solid concrete construction makes them suitable for a wide range of structural and general building applications, including walls where additional thickness is required.
Manufactured from dense concrete, these grey masonry blocks provide a compressive strength of 7.3N/mm², making them suitable for load-bearing and non-load-bearing construction where approved by the building design. Their solid composition provides a substantial, durable building material for projects requiring reliable masonry performance.
The 140mm thickness offers a wider wall section than standard 100mm blocks, making these blocks particularly useful in construction where increased wall thickness, stability or specific structural requirements are necessary. They can be incorporated into internal walls, cavity wall construction, extensions, garages and other masonry projects where their properties meet the specification.
Dense concrete also provides useful thermal mass and sound-insulating characteristics, although the overall thermal and acoustic performance depends on the complete wall construction. Their solid structure can provide a suitable base for mechanical fixings, subject to the fixing manufacturer's requirements and the loads involved.
Ideal for professional builders, bricklayers and construction contractors, these blocks are a practical choice for new builds, property extensions, refurbishment work and general masonry construction.

Combining a substantial 140mm thickness with a 7.3N/mm² compressive strength, the 140mm Grey Solid Dense Concrete Block provides a durable and versatile building material for a wide range of masonry construction projects.
Always verify the block's full dimensions, weight, applicable standards and suitability for the intended application before installation. Structural walls must follow the approved building design, and below-ground or exposed applications require confirmation of the block's relevant performance characteristics. Solid dense concrete blocks can be particularly heavy, so appropriate lifting and manual-handling precautions should be taken.
