Firstly, \u003cstrong\u003eMasonry\u003c\/strong\u003e blocks should be dry when laid in the wall to minimize subsequent shrinkage. Keeping the blocks dry ensures structural integrity and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to cleaning \u003cstrong\u003eConcrete Masonry\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is important to keep mortar off the face of the blocks. Clean off any droppings as work progresses and before the mortar sets. Avoid cleaning down with acid whenever possible to maintain the quality of the blocks. Additionally, care should be taken to order enough product to complete the project at the same time to avoid the possibility of batch variations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConcrete Masonry\u003c\/strong\u003e blocks behave differently from clay bricks in terms of moisture movement and temperature changes. Assuming sound foundations are provided, cracks in walls can be avoided by the correct use of control joints, bond beams, and\/or joint reinforcement. The rules for using these elements are contained in Australian Standard 3700-2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor useful estimating data, blocks with a 390x190mm face equate to 12.5 units per square meter and 2.5 units per lineal meter. To fill 200mm bond beams, allow 0.013m\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e of concrete per lineal meter of beam. To core fill 150mm ‘H’ blocks, allow 0.65m\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e of concrete per 100 blocks. To core fill 200mm blocks, allow 0.8m\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e of concrete per 100 blocks. To core fill 200mm ‘H’ blocks, allow 0.84m\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e of concrete per 100 blocks. To core fill 300mm blocks, allow 1.1m\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e of concrete per 100 blocks. To core fill 300mm ‘H’ blocks, allow 1.32m\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e of concrete per 100 blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnsure blocks are dry before laying to prevent shrinkage.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClean mortar droppings immediately to avoid stains.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOrder sufficient product to avoid batch variations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Austral Masonry (Brickworks)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45167471657097,"sku":"A0241A","price":4.75,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/7870\/7081\/files\/Besser_Block_150_Three_Quarter.webp?v=1769669119","url":"https:\/\/builderscentre.com.au\/products\/besser-block-150-three-quarter","provider":"Builders Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
