<p>There is provided a building block (10) comprising a hollow cored block (11) having eight stand-offs (13) formed on a base surface (12) represented by one of the side faces of the hollow cored block (11). The stand-offs (13) are arranged in pairs so that there are three wide channels (14) and four narrow channels (15) extending vertically between each stand-off (13). Each stand-off (13) ends short of the upper surface of the hollow cored block (11) to define a horizontal channel (16) when corresponding blocks are stacked in either a half bond of stacked bond pattern to form a wall. The stand-offs (13) are chamfered on their upper edges and vertically along the edges adjacent the wide channels (14). The blocks provide means for construction of a rendered or lined wall without requiring lathing or stud walling respectively.</p> |
