Barleystone 9″ Cavity Concrete Block

Description

Description
The Barleystone 9″ Cavity Concrete Block is a high-quality masonry unit engineered for use in cavity wall construction. Made by Barleystone (part of the O’Reilly Group), this block combines durability, dimensional accuracy and excellent structural performance for residential, commercial and civil building projects. It meets recognised European masonry standards and is suitable for both load-bearing and non-loadbearing walls.

Key Features

• Standard Cavity Design: Hollow block format with internal voids designed to form a cavity wall when paired with another leaf; ideal for insulation and moisture control.

• Dimensions: Approximately 440 mm (L) × 215 mm (H) × 215 mm (thickness/9″) — the industry standard for 9″ cavity blocks.

• Robust Construction: Manufactured from quality aggregates, cement and sand; hydraulically pressed to ensure consistent density and strength.

• Compressive Strength: Produced to recognised strength classifications suitable for structural masonry applications (check specific Strength Class options with supplier).

• Fire Resistance: Offers good fire performance when used in appropriate wall systems (depending on design and compliance with local codes).

• Sound Insulation & Thermal Performance: Hollow cavity reduces sound transfer and improves thermal performance when insulated.

• Quality Certified: Manufactured under European standards (e.g., IS EN 771-3) and subject to quality management controls.
