SIMPLE BLOCK shapes for jointless masonry

An interesting innovation that saves time and money is the masonry system SIMPLE BLOCK, which consists of 4 types of blocks – full continuous, terminating full, terminating half, and column. These blocks are manufactured with a bevel and are intended for the technology of jointless masonry. This eliminates any additional joint filling. The design of the blocks and the bevel on the top edge allow for minimal joint masonry despite certain dimensional tolerances, and there is no need for jointing or any other steps to achieve the final appearance.
The visible parts of the SIMPLE BLOCK have a smooth or coarse texture and do not require any additional surface treatment. They are produced in natural, brick, and ochre colors. The system of these blocks is intended for the construction of small buildings, walls, fencing, etc.

Like all other types of facing concrete blocks, the construction of a simple structure from the SIMPLE BLOCK system must respect certain construction principles from the initial phase of construction to prevent future degradation or
damage to the structure due to construction errors.

The basic prerequisites for successful implementation are:

• the creation of project documentation in accordance with applicable technical standards and other regulations
• careful execution of details according to recommended instructions and project documentation
• adherence to optimal distances of expansion sections

Failure to follow procedures and deficiencies during construction can result in subsequent degradation of the structure, both aesthetically (efflorescence) and structurally (cracking in the walls of the blocks).

Before starting work, it is recommended to thoroughly familiarize oneself with the technical instructions and recommendations for working with concrete products. These instructions are available for viewing and download at www.presbeton.cz.
