140mm Blocks

Learn more about 140mm blocks

140mm blocks are a fundamental component in masonry, offering a balance between wall thickness and structural support. By choosing the right specification, you can significantly impact both the load-bearing capabilities and the thermal performance of a structure. They are engineered to meet strict British building standards, ensuring consistency across your build.

We stock both solid dense concrete blocks for load-bearing applications and aerated concrete blocks which provide superior thermal efficiency. These versatile units serve as a reliable foundation for residential and commercial builds alike. Explore our selection below to find the precise strength and finish needed to keep your project on schedule. Secure the structural base your build deserves with our trusted range.

Typical uses

These blocks are versatile workhorses of the construction industry. They are most commonly used for:

• Internal and external load-bearing walls.

• Cavity wall construction (as the inner leaf).

• Beam and block flooring systems.

• Foundation work where a robust, reliable base is required.

How to choose the right 140mm blocks

Selecting the right block depends on your project's technical requirements:

• Assess the load: If you need to support heavy floors or roofs, dense concrete blocks provide the necessary structural strength.

• Consider insulation: If thermal efficiency is a priority, consider aerated blocks.

• Check the environment: Ensure the product is suitable for the intended exposure (e.g. damp proofing or external conditions).

Before you order

• To avoid site delays, confirm your quantity requirements accurately before ordering. 

• Consider site access for heavy delivery vehicles and ensure you have adequate storage space on-site. 

• If you are uncertain about the quantity or type, our brick calculator will give you a good idea of how many 140mm blocks you will need for your project.

• Make sure you have all of the essential materials and tools for laying blocks, such as cement, trowels, hawkes & floats, damp proof course & membranes, and wall ties.
