| Retaining walls are easily constructed with insulbrick. Insulbrick 170 can be used for retaining walls such as garden beds and other walls where the lateral pressure is not substantial. The ease in which insulbricks are curved makes it ideal for feature garden bed walls. Where the lateral pressure is substantial, such as basements, the insulbrick 240 is recommended. Insulbrick 240 is ideal for use on sloping sites. Our consultants or engineers will advise the appropriate insulbrick for your project. |
