Description

A retaining system that uses hollow interlocking blocks with a free draining backfill.


Designed to meet the highest standards of quality and durability, Verti-Block is a solution for retaining walls, garden terraces, and erosion control applications. Built-in tapered design enables a 4.8 m minimum radius both convex and concave. 


Features and benefits:

1. Superior Design for Enhanced Durability

  • Verti-Block is a wet cast product, providing superior durability with an open core structure that ensures excellent drainage. This innovative design reduces material and transportation costs and is less labour-intensive compared to traditional small hand-laid blocks.

2. Flexible and Strong Interlocking System

  • The unique male-and-female design of Verti-Block allows for interlocking installation, offering unmatched strength and stability with gravel infill. This design minimises the risk of placement errors, ensuring precise installation every time.

3. Aesthetic and Customisable Finishes

  • Available in real stone textures with two different finishes, Verti-Block is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. For added customisation, the blocks can be coloured by others, after installation.

4. Efficient and Cost-Effective

  • Verti-Block offers a cost-effective retaining wall solution with quick and easy installation, reducing the need for multiple trades traditionally associated with retaining wall construction. Its hollow design ensures proper drainage and eliminates the need for over or under excavation.

5. Long-Lasting and Eco-Friendly

  • Designed for a 120-year lifespan, Verti-Block is a sustainable choice with little to no waste. The natural stone finishes are designed to blend seamlessly with the local environment, encouraging the growth of lichens and mosses in the crevices.

6. Technical Support and Design Flexibility

  • Naylor Concrete provides comprehensive technical information and support, including downloadable design software. From the preliminary design stage through to construction, Verti-Block offers varied designs and the ability to achieve both gravity and retained systems.

7. Designed To Meet Industry Standards

  • Verti-Block has been designed to meet industry standards. Manufactured in accordance with BS EN 15258:2008 – Precast concrete products, BS EN 13369:2018 – Common rules for precast units and Eurocode 7.
