Allanblock.com is the company portal for the manufacturer of an interlocking outdoor block system. Its main application being commercial and residential walls, paths, and retaining walls. The blocks are hollow (in their core) and are therefore lighter to ship and handle during assembly, thereby reducing freight and labor costs. Additionally this design allows the block built wall to have the features of better drainage and drying out capabilities in wet environments, better resistance to freeze and thaw cycles, and improved efflorescence control. Allanblock.com offers an entire system of construction and the hollow core of the block allows for them to be filled with a specified size range of natural stone gravel. When using this, typically, one inch diameter washed stone for interior and back fill, the system of interlocking is enhanced by providing many small lapping surfaces.
One of the great informational aspects of allanblock.com are the reference materials for types of jobs that the walls constructed with these blocks can achieve. More than just providing drawings and technical information, there are many pictorial examples of how the blocks have already been used, giving the property owner or exterior designer existing concepts that can be applied to their projects. Retaining walls for hilly or canyon type topography is one of the applications for this system. Although a trained designer and contractor will be necessary for constructing the more complex jobs, all of the engineering background resources required to do these tasks have been. Several adjunct pieces of hardware for reinforced retaining and other reinforced walls are available, and the engineering requirements for such walls are outlined clearly.
