Why Unilock Wall Blocks are the Superior Choice for Your Retaining Wall Project

When choosing a retaining wall for your project, durability is key. At Unilock, our range of wall blocks demonstrates our commitment to long-lasting quality. Below, we’ll break down the key features of our blocks and highlight the benefits of choosing Unilock walls for your outdoor landscaping.

What are Unilock Wall Blocks?

Unilock wall blocks are manufactured with a minimum of 5000 PSI compressive strength, ensuring consistent unit weight, strong block shear strength, and superior freeze-thaw durability. While many wall blocks feature internal voids or cavities that require additional core filling by a contractor, Unilock wall blocks require no additional core filling. Instead, they are designed with an integral tongue-and-groove system, allowing for quick and easy stacking, providing a secure fit without the need for additional modifications.

What are the Benefits of Using Wall Blocks from Unilock?

Unilock wall blocks offer a wide range of benefits, including:

Superior Strength: Unilock wall blocks consistently exceed the national average for compressive strength. This results in lower water absorption, better freeze/thaw durability, and a longer-lasting product.

Exceptional Durability: Unilock wall blocks are manufactured with 10 to 44 percent more concrete per foot, providing superior stability and durability. The exceptional compressive strength and durability means guaranteed block unit weight and superior geogrid connection.

Easy Installation: Wall blocks can be installed “as is” immediately upon arrival at the job site, reducing construction variability. Integrated hand-holds further facilitate ease of installation on the job site.

Cost-Effective: Wall blocks require no core filling, clips, or extra pins, reducing installation time and labor costs while ensuring maximum resistance to overturning.

Versatile Design: The modular system and interlocking tongue-and-groove design guarantee shear strength, allowing you to construct a variety of wall features easily.
