AB Dublin Block
The AB Dublin Block is an angled block available in left and right angles. There are two raised rings on the top of the block, these interlock the blocks together so adhesive is not needed.
Cutting Locations for the AB Dublin Block
Note: The AB Dublin Block can be installed upside down when the opposite angle is needed during construction. This should typically only be done on the top course.
AB York Block
The York Block is a tapered block, with a long and a short side. Modifying this block is done only when AB Dublin Blocks are not available.
Cutting Locations for the AB York Block
Corner Block
The Corner Block is an angled block. The block has no designated top or bottom; flipping it over creates the opposite angle.
Wall Cap
Wall Caps are available to finish the top of the wall panels for straight or curved sections. When finishing for straight sections alternate the direction of each Wall Cap. Secure in place with a bead of flexible concrete adhesive along both sides of the raised rings and along the side of each Wall Cap.
The Wall Caps are manufactured with a standard and an end cap finish. There is an average of 1 end cap for every 4 standard caps when offered by the local manufacturer - check for availability.
Post Cap
Post Caps are used to finish the top of a post or pillar. Two Post Caps are needed to finish each post. Secure them in place with a bead of flexible concrete adhesive along the outside edge of the top course of the Corner Blocks of the post.
