Types of Wall Blocks for Masonry Construction
EXPLORING BRICK AND CONCRETE BLOCK OPTIONS
When it comes to wall blocks, two primary options stand out: bricks and concrete blocks. Bricks, known for their timeless appeal and durability, are ideal for creating solid masonry walls with a classic aesthetic. They come in various types, including clay, concrete, and engineering bricks, each offering unique properties suited to different applications.
Concrete blocks provide a cost-effective and versatile solution for both structural and decorative walls. These wall blocks are available in various sizes, shapes, and finishes, making them suitable for a wide range of projects, from garden walls to large-scale retaining walls.

Natural Stone: Premium Choice for Wall Construction
ENHANCING AESTHETICS WITH DURABLE WALL MATERIALS
Natural stone is a premium choice for those seeking to create stunning and long-lasting walls. As a durable wall material, natural stone offers unparalleled beauty and strength, making it ideal for both retaining wall stone applications and decorative masonry walls. Popular options include limestone, sandstone, and granite, each bringing unique textures and colours to your project.
The versatility of natural stone allows for various finishes, from rustic to polished, catering to diverse design preferences. While it may require a higher initial investment, the longevity and low maintenance of natural stone walls make them a cost-effective choice in the long run.

Engineered Blocks: Innovative Solutions for Modern Walls
COMBINING STRENGTH AND DESIGN WITH ADVANCED MATERIALS
Engineered blocks represent the cutting edge of wall building materials, offering a perfect blend of strength, design flexibility, and ease of installation. These innovative wall blocks are designed to interlock, making them particularly suitable for retaining walls and complex masonry structures. They often come with built-in features like drainage systems, crucial for retaining wall stone applications.
One of the key advantages of engineered blocks is their consistency in size and shape, which streamlines the construction process and ensures a uniform appearance. Moreover, these blocks can be manufactured to mimic the appearance of natural stone, providing an aesthetically pleasing alternative at a more accessible price point. Engineered blocks are also ideal for use as wall retainer blocks, providing both structural support and aesthetic appeal.

At Connection Construction Limited, we prioritise quality in every aspect of wall construction, including bonding materials. From general-purpose mortar to weather-resistant options, we guide you in selecting the best mix for your project, ensuring strong adhesion between wall blocks and reducing the risk of structural issues over time.
For external walls exposed to the elements, we recommend mortar mixes designed to withstand moisture and temperature fluctuations. Additionally, we offer advice on bonding agents that enhance the strength of mortar, especially in challenging conditions.
