Loarre Concrete Block - Carved Texture for Enclosures
Loarre Block: What It Is
The Loarre block is a concrete unit with a tooled texture that captures the nobility of natural stone while keeping the regularity of a precast product. It is designed for enclosure walls and low walls where the exposed face is the star, with a coverage of 15 pieces per m².
✅ Main Advantages
Tooled texture: the exposed face reproduces the coursing and relief of cut stone, with a pattern that breaks the monotony of a smooth block.
High-quality concrete: a compact unit that withstands weathering without needing a coating.
Two factory colors: white and beige, both through the full body of the unit.
Consistent modulation: it shares its course height with the Loarre pillar, so wall and pillar fit together without cutting.
Two supply series: a pallet of 84 units for long wall sections and a pallet of 24 units for small jobs or finishing details.
🏗️ Recommended Applications
Plot enclosures and fences with a rustic finish.
Garden low walls and terraced beds.
Facade plinths and bases.
Terrace parapets and porch dividers.
Wall sections combined with pillars of the same texture.

🧰 Installation
Build the strip foundation and check that it is perfectly level before laying the first course.
Dry-lay the first three or four pieces to decide the position of the tooled pattern and avoid it repeating vertically.
Bed the units in masonry mortar, keeping the joint consistent and cleaning off any excess before it sets.
Build with staggered joints, checking plumb and level every two courses.
Mix pieces from several pallets to spread any slight variation in shade between batches.
Cap the wall with a coping or pillar cap with a drip edge that overhangs the wall face.

💡 Professional tip: with tooled-texture pieces, the most common mistake is cleaning the mortar with plenty of water once it has already started to set: the water washes the slurry into the depths of the relief and leaves a whitish film that is impossible to remove afterwards. Remove the excess with the trowel while it is fresh and finish with a dry stiff-bristle brush.
