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.
