How much is a square meter of Stavoblock?
We need more information about the project to be able to answer this question. To provide correct information, we offer free consulting services, including the preparation of a quotation, directly on the site, a statistical calculation or preparation of project documentation.
What are the advantages of Stavoblock when compared with other systems?
Stavoblock is definitely advantageous thanks to the fact that it is not required to brick up foundation. The wall is built on a packed aggregate bed (about 150 to 200 mm thick – according to the wall thickness) and the individual blocks are then assembled in a dry manner without any concreting and reinforcing. There is no pouring of concrete and technological breaks. Dry assembly constructions allow relative displacement between the individual bricks caused by uneven settling, different load and other effects.
Dry joints eliminate ugly cracks in the bed and butt joints and braces that prevent movement of the wall. The variability of the system is also an important aspect, as well as its visual effect where it is possible to combine shapes, surfaces and colours.
How high can the wall be built?
Stavoblock is suitable for the construction of dividing walls and supporting walls, almost without any height limitations (static evaluation is required for heights above 1 m).
Can I use Stavoblock to build a fence?
Yes. Basically, two facing elements are assembled together. They are connected using anchoring connections (the selection of which depends on the thickness of the wall). It is possible to build a fence wall that is split with sand colour on one side and red-brown ground on the other side. The system also provides other elements for solving corners and finishing covering boards.
What is it like with fence filling and the gate?
You can install both filling and a gate or a large gate for a vehicle into the dividing walls, as well as electric distributors. We recommend consulting the method of anchoring and installation with a technical consultant, or you can find the information you need in the recommended installation manual.
How do I finish a supporting wall?
You can finish the supporting wall with covering boards or by levelling the terrain up to the height of the supporting wall. If you use the covering board to finish the supporting wall that will be walkable (terrace), we recommend using adhesive for concrete to install the board.
How many anchoring braces do I need to use behind the facing element?
The number of anchoring braces is calculated statistically based on the load. You can find construction drawings of supporting walls on our website, sorted by height and load based on the statistical calculation.
Is it possible to use Stavoblock to build the supporting wall and then do the backfill?
No. Each layer of the Stavoblock masonry must be backfilled with the filling material. The material is compacted, overflowing material is removed, bricks are swept on the top and then you can start building a new layer. Compaction of the reinforced soil or soil behind the wall is also done by individual layers.
What material to use for backfilling a Stavoblock supporting wall and for foundation?
To backfill Stavoblock bricks, you should use sorted and washed aggregate with appropriate grain composition. The ideal backfill material is aggregate /gravel/ with fraction 4-8 or 8-16 mm. For the foundation, you can use aggregate with a larger fraction /16-32 mm/, or the same aggregate as for the backfill. It is important to create a levelling layer from fine aggregate into which Stavoblock bricks will be installed.
