Baines make a full range of concrete grey blocks using Betta Block technology to satisfy the requirements of both residential and commercial projects. Our commitment, ‘Quality First’, is your guarantee that you can order grey blocks from Baines with confidence.

The standard face dimension of concrete blocks is 390mm long by 190mm high which translates to a 400mm by 200mm module when you add the recommended 10mm mortar joint. Depending on your application, we supply concrete blocks in various widths from 90mm to 290mm to suit all projects. Note that half high’s, half, three-quarter, quarters and lintel blocks are also available.

The Baines Masonry’s BETTA BLOCK™:

• Is made of 65% heavy industry by products - By using these products we are reducing the amount of landfill generated from coal fired power stations and the steel making industry, which in turn is better for the environment.
• Uses 40% less cement then normally required, with the addition of Descrete Super Fly Ash - 40% less cement means 40% less CO2 emissions. this Architectural product achieves sharper arises and has up to a 45% lower carbon footprint than other masonry products
• Is Light Weight –The BETTA BLOCK™ “H” Block has a dry weight of less than 10.5Kg. A lighter block reduces injury risks and OH&S claims.
• Is Strong - Compressive strength ≥ 15MPa, Complies with Australian Standards AS/NZS 4455
• Has Transport Advantages – A lighter block means more product per load, reducing the transport impact on the environment. Also, more blocks per load reduces freight costs.
  

Research and development never stops at Baines Masonry in our quest to remain at the cutting edge of masonry technology. This continual R&D resulted in the development of our Betta Block technology which reduces the weight of our grey blocks with no loss of strength all while reducing Baines environmental footprint. We have, in part, achieved this leap in technology by recycling waste products from power stations and blasts furnaces in our production process. A win-win for the environment and our concrete masonry.
