low_and_there Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Hello all. I am looking for a conc block that we can leave unfinished as it's for a wall that we can't get to the outside of to render. BC have said such 'fair faced' external-grade blocks exist but i can't find any from searches online - I have called a couple of manufacturers who have confirmed they don't make them but also believe such products do exist. Anyone familiar with particular conc blocks that meet this criteria? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickie Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 ‘Paint grade’ might be the phrase to use when asking merchants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may help, but at least some aren't suitable for use externally. Conbloc Paint Grade blocks aren't suitable for external leafs above DPC, for example.
