Grey Block Capping Tile 50.31C

The Adbri Grey Block Capping Tile 50.31C is a capping stone used to finish the top of blockwork with a neat appearance. An added benefit of installing a capping tile is that it also helps protect exposed blockwork from weathering and moisture penetration.

To install your Adbri Grey Block Capping Tile 50.31C, first check which mortar or adhesive is required for your project, as there may be specific requirements for structural work. You will also need to consider design elements, such as whether the project requires an overhang or a flush finish against walls and other surfaces. Some cutting of the capping tiles may be required to achieve the desired finish.

Once you have your capping tiles ready, follow the steps below:

STEP 1: Clean the top course of your besser blocks, removing any dust and debris.

STEP 2: Place the capping tiles along the top of the wall to check that everything is aligned. Use a level and mark any adjustments that need to be made before final installation.

STEP 3: Once any end pieces have been cut and you're happy with the layout, apply the mortar or adhesive according to the manufacturer's recommendations and your project specifications.

STEP 4: Place the capping tiles into position, checking the alignment with a level as you go.

STEP 5: Once all the capping tiles are in place, wipe away any excess mortar with a damp cloth before it dries.

STEP 6: Allow the mortar to cure for 24–48 hours.

The dimensions of the 50.31C Capping Tile are: 390mm (L) × 190mm (W) × 40mm (H)

This capping tile is designed to suit standard 200 Series concrete masonry blocks.

Because each tile is approximately 390mm long, you will generally need around 2.5–3 capping tiles per linear metre.

The exact number of capping tiles required will also depend on your joint spacing and design details, such as whether you want the capping tiles to have an overhang.
