Architectural besser blocks are an outstanding choice for builders, landscapers and DIY homeowners looking for a combination of durability, functionality and design to create sophisticated projects. Their versatility and aesthetic appeal make them a favourite for both outdoor and indoor applications so in this blog, we dive into their makeup and benefits to showcase their superpower at elevating any project.

Understanding Architectural Besser Blocks

Besser blocks, also known as concrete blocks, are hollow, rectangular units primarily used for structural purposes due to their strength. However, Apex Masonry’s Architectural Range takes this a step further by offering a blend of strength and aesthetic appeal. Made from high-grade materials, including olivine basalt and fine sands sourced locally from Queensland’s Fraser Coast, these blocks are designed to be stain-free, providing a cleaner and longer-lasting finish

Our variety of finishes includes honed, polished, split-face, hand bolstered and smooth textures, which give you a large degree of design flexibility to make sure that whether you’re building a modern feature wall or a timeless retaining wall, there’s a product suited to the style you’re looking for.
