Significant cost and time
savings can be had by building with Liteblok™
69 versus bricks or conventional concrete blocks. These close
fitting blocks are interlocking and self-aligning. They
stack quickly without the use of mortar or highly skilled labor.
Traditional building materials tend to be very labor intensive
with labor costs often being as much as four times that of
material costs. Liteblok™
is designed to simplify construction and eliminate much of the
labor costs. When building a Liteblok™
wall, the associated labor costs are typically less than 10%
of the material costs.
Unlike regular concrete, the
unique properties of Liteblok™ allow it to
withstand direct contact with flames from a fire.
Liteblok™ 69 is ideal for fireplaces and
outdoor barbeque pits. Please contact us should you need
a contractor, engineer, or architect, we would be happy to refer
one to you.

Bond Beam Block
This block is used for special lintels and bond beams (see
photo). A
lintel is a beam above windows and doors. Lintels are only required
in special cases where flat bottom Liteblok™
blocks will not suffice. A bond beam is a
continuous beam, usually constructed of concrete and reinforced
horizontally with rebar, on top of supporting walls. The purpose of
the bond beam is to tie walls together and distribute weight evenly
to the walls below. Our bond beams for Liteblok™
69 are made of the same material and have the same physical
properties as Liteblok™ 69. They are uniquely
configured to be interlocking and mortaless and allow for two
vertically aligned and two horizontally aligned rebars. The vertical
rebar from blocks below (and above) can be tied to the horizontal
rebar running through the bond beam block. This allows for the bond
beam block to be physically tied into the rebar vertically aligned
in the blocks below (and above) creating a strong structure with
evenly distributed loads.
