Any long, continuous block wall will crack as the concrete shrinks and as it heats and cools. Control joint blocks let you decide where that crack goes. Build them in as a full-height vertical joint every 6-8 metres (confirm the spacing with your engineer), alternating the full 20.09 with the half 20.10 each course, then rake and seal the joint. The wall still holds together sideways - it just moves cleanly at the joint instead of cracking randomly.
Key Features
- Controls shrinkage and thermal cracking in long walls
- Interlocking moulded sash profile transfers shear while allowing movement
- Alternates course by course with the 20.10 half control joint
- Heaviest and most solid of the 200 series shapes at 14.5kg
- 72 per pallet with half-pallets (36) available
- Needed roughly every 6-8m of continuous walling
Specifications
- Material: Concrete
- Dimensions: 390 x 190 x 190mm
- Weight: 14.5kg each
- Pallet quantity: 72 units
- Manufactured to AS/NZS 4455.1
