What strength/density of concrete blocks do I need to match normal bricks ? I want to use some concrete blocks nearly up to ground level and only use blue engineering bricks where they start to show. Will the blocks I need cut OK with a block cutting guillotine ? Thanks, Simon.
Not sure what density I used, but fine so far. cut em with a mallet and bolster.Angle grinder also works. Never used a gulloitine..
I've cut them (inplace) with a hand masonary saw, which went through very quickly. Apparently a wood saw works too for a while, but knackers more quickly (and probably wouldn't be much good for timber afterwards).
If the compressor is running it's not the stat.
Nice to know that ;-)

Unless you're building a high rise it is highly unlikely that you need high strength blocks. Thermalite/Celcon blocks can be used in foundations except in certain soils.
at.
Guess what??
