Concrete Blocks

About Our Concrete Blocks

Concrete blocks are a core structural material across residential, commercial and industrial construction. Used for foundations, load bearing walls, partitions and structural infill, they provide the strength, consistency and fire resistance required on modern builds. At The Builders Supply Company, we supply concrete blocks specified daily by builders, groundworkers and contractors who need reliable performance and predictable results on site.

Block choice has a direct impact on structural integrity, thermal performance and ease of installation. Selecting the correct block type early in the build helps maintain programme efficiency and ensures compliance with structural and building control requirements.

Concrete Block Range For Construction

Our concrete block category is organised around how blocks are typically used on site, making it easier to select the right product for the job. Whether strength, weight or handling is the priority, our range covers the most commonly specified options.

Solid Concrete Blocks

Solid concrete blocks are primarily specified where strength and load bearing capacity are critical. These blocks are commonly used in foundations, external walls and structural partitions where higher compressive strength is required. Dense concrete blocks also offer excellent acoustic performance and impact resistance, making them suitable for garages, commercial units and boundary walls.

Solid blocks are often selected where walls will be rendered, faced with brick, or left exposed internally. Their density provides stability during construction and helps limit movement once installed. Spacer bricks and dense block options are also used to maintain consistent coursing and structural alignment throughout the build.

Lightweight Concrete Blocks

Lightweight concrete blocks are widely used for internal walls and applications where reduced weight improves handling and installation speed. These blocks are easier to cut and manoeuvre on site, making them a practical choice for upper floors and partition walls.

Lightweight blocks still deliver reliable compressive strength while offering improved thermal performance compared to dense alternatives. They are commonly specified for cavity wall construction and internal load bearing walls where insulation and ease of installation are both important considerations.
