Bellver Concrete Block - Smooth Face for Walls and Fences
Bellver Block: What It Is
The Bellver block is a smooth-faced concrete unit for building walls and fences with a clean, even finish. It covers 15 units per square meter and is laid with conventional mortar, with no need for rendering afterwards.
✅ Key Benefits
Smooth exposed face: even surface with no open pores, ready to be left exposed just as it comes off the pallet.
Three factory colors: gray, white and beige, with the color running through the whole body of the unit.
Two formats: 40 × 17 × 17.1 cm for continuous wall sections and 40 × 40 × 17.1 cm for junctions and reinforcements.
Controlled weight: 11.2 kg per unit, easy to handle by hand throughout the working day.
Compatible with the Bellver pillar: same course height and same finish, so wall and pillar form a single, matching whole.
🏗️ Recommended Applications
Enclosure walls and perimeter fencing.
Garden low walls, terraced beds and built-in planters.
Terrace and rooftop parapets.
Decorative interior partitions with an exposed face.

🧰 Installation
Build a level strip foundation and leave starter bars at the points where the pillars will go.
Lay the first course on fresh mortar and check level, plumb and square: any error here carries all the way to the top.
Build in a running bond with a joint of constant thickness, also filling the vertical joints.
Check plumb every two courses with a straightedge and a spirit level.
Remove excess mortar while it is still fresh using the trowel; on a smooth face, slurry stains are far more noticeable than on a rough texture.
Finish the top with a coping or pillar cap with a drip edge so that water does not run down the exposed face.
📦 Available Formats

💡 Professional tip: on a smooth face, the joint shows. Always use the same pointing trowel and mortar from the same batch within a single wall section; if you have to stop work, break off at a full vertical joint and not mid-course, because the change in mortar color will give away the break forever.
