  • Suitable for free standing walls to a height of 0.9 m- not suitable for retaining walls.

Description

Double-sided block with a natural weathered finish and a completely vertical face to create a free-standing, self-supporting, mortarless wall.


Features and benefits:

  • Can be finished as a ‘stop end’ wall with stop end blocks and factory split half blocks provided.
  • The double-sided finish of each block means that the walling can be built anywhere without a concrete foundation.
  • Natural appearance of cut stone.
  • Built with no mortar or concrete, this dry-build locking system allows fast-track construction in all weathers.
  • Each block features a locator that acts as a guide to ensure accurate vertical alignment and a perfect running bond.
  • The ShortCut cap block is shaped asymmetrically (tapered), minimizing the need for cuts.


Minimum radius:

  • Outside curve (to back of block on bottom course): 2.56 m.
  • Inside curve (to back of block on bottom course): 2.04 m.

Consult manufacturer's technical literature for further details.
