What are the core components of a modular block wall and how is it built?

Core Components 

The core components of a modular wall are panels, frames, connectors, base and top tracks. Panels can be made from drywall, plywood, metal, glass, or composite materials. Panels are the primary building blocks of modular walls. Frames are made of metal or wood that will keep the frame in place. Connectors are used to hold these panels together using clips, magnets, bolts, or interlocking mechanisms. Base and top tracks are tracks that panels slide into or are mounted on. 

How to Build

The panels should be positioned and aligned so that the panels can be against the frame or tracks. We ensure they are aligned correctly and check for levelness before set in place. We double-check that all panels are level and properly aligned. Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure a clean fit between panels and the frame. If required, paint, lamination, or other finishes to the panels are applied. Trim or edge coverings to complete the look and ensure a finished appearance will be placed. It is ensured that the wall is stable, and panels are securely attached. Doors, windows, and other features are inspected to make sure they operate correctly and are aligned.

Types of blocks used 

Anchor Diamond Pro Blocks are a type of heavy-duty masonry anchor designed for use in concrete, brick, or block walls. These anchors are typically used to secure fixtures, shelves, or other items to masonry surfaces. Measuring and marking will be done to ensure that the right size blocks are used, and the drill bit size will be matched to the work being done. The screws will be aligned with the anchors and use a screwdriver or impact driver to screw them in. As you tighten, the anchor will expand and grip the masonry surface. Once the anchors are installed, the fixture or item is aligned with the anchors and secure it by tightening the screws into the anchors. Stability and adjustments are performed if needed. 

Rock wood colonial eight-inch blocks are a type of masonry block used for various construction and landscaping applications. These blocks are known for their durability and aesthetic appeal, often employed in retaining walls, garden walls, or decorative features. In most cases, site preparation is required to ensure fitting of the blocks. Excavating the area where the blocks will be installed to a depth suitable for the base layer will be performed. This is usually around 6-12 inches deep, depending on the wall’s height and soil conditions. Most often gravel, a layer of gravel or crushed stone is spread evenly across the excavated area. Compact the gravel to create a stable and level base for the blocks. Stagger joints create alignment. Between these alignments, mortar is placed for added stability. Depending on the design, it is backfilled with rock, gravel, or soil. Proper drainage is ensured with each project. 

Wall height

Wall height is determined upon by project. In some cases, a fence might be needed. Adding a fence to modular walls can enhance privacy, security, and aesthetic appeal. A fence can provide additional privacy by extending the height of modular walls. For security, choosing a robust fence that complements the modular wall is advised. A fence can improve the appearance of modular walls and enhance landscaping. Among these reasons, fencing might be provided to ensure safety.
