摘要

A dry wall building system comprises courses of building blocks (36) where the building blocks are joined end to end by keys (1). Each of the blocks comprising sidewalls (37), endwalls (38) and at least one vertical cavity (39) or slot (39), at least one first channel (40) in the upper surfaces (22) of the endwalls and at least one second channel (41) in the lower surfaces (23) of the endwalls, the arrangement and construction being such that when blocks are laid one upon another the channels and the said at least one cavity or slot of the blocks can be aligned to provide an internal network of horizontal and vertical infill passages (42, 43) which can be filled with a settable material to seal joints between the blocks and to provide load bearing support between respective courses of blocks. A method of manufacturing blocks is also disclosed.
