New Generation Blue Molds: A Buyer’s Guide

Concrete block moulds have been increasing in demand over the years, and it’s clear to see why. They are a simple and cost-effective solution when transforming your concrete into various robust blocks, and a great way of saving money and by turning unused concrete into sustainable lego concrete blocks.  However, with so many block moulds on the market, it can be a challenging process to decide what block mould would best suit your needs.

If you are still a little unsure on what concrete block moulds are and how they work, feel free to check out our article! But, if you are keen to begin reducing costs, use this guide to understand the most important things to look out for when searching for a high-quality concrete block mould.

Durability and Longevity

The durability and longevity of your concrete block mould should be a key factor in your decision-making process. Time and time again you will find concrete block moulds simply fail the test of time, failing much sooner than anticipated due to various reasons such as rust, cold weather or just bad design. Durability and longevity can be determined through:

A High-Grade Design Material:

Composite materials and reinforced plastics can provide some level of durability for your concrete block mould. Alternatively, a fibre-glass based concrete block mould could cater to projects that require a high heat or UV resistance. However, if you are looking for a highly durable and heat resistant concrete block mould, a high-quality premium steel mould is certain to meet your demands.

Modern Design Features:

Modern design features mostly comprise of the latest structural design methods that ensure the durability and longevity of your concrete block mould. Look out for design features such as -

• Reinforced bent and welded corners to guarantee your moulds maintain their shape, even under heavy use.
• An easy opening method of your mould, to prevent damaging the block or mould.
• Uniform moulds that guarantee the blocks produced align and interlock properly, even after repeated use.
• Design materials such as high-grade premium structural steel also ensure your mould lasts a long time.

Versatility

Versatility is another aspect that qualifies a high-quality concrete block mould. Companies can often offer block moulds that are restricted to their set shape and design. This limitation is suited for companies who are starting a simple project where only one shape and design of concrete block is needed. However, as soon as the complexities of your project begin to take shape, having a versatile concrete block mould is essential to have. Choose a block mould that has a great range of accessories, including dividers in different shapes and designs.

Precision and Ease-of-Use

Precision and ease-of-use are the final factors that certify a high-quality concrete block mould. Having unprecise block moulds increase the chances of incompatibility with the other concrete blocks that your mould produces, whereas difficult-to-use block moulds simply increase the chances of human error.

Ultimately, this can slow down your operations and places way too much time and effort on what should be an easy and simple process. So, to ensure your operations are as swift as possible, having a precise and easy-to-use concrete block mould is vital.
