Who makes breezeblocks?
Does anyone know who (still) manufactures "breezeblocks" - preferably someone who will supply to Victora???

strangely just cleaning up product library (some of it anyway) and found a flyer for "glazed ceramic 'breezeblocks' by filigree fit" they are highly decorative, not sure if it's what you are after or if they are still around and they are in sydney but it's a start (maybe?)... (02) 9968 3411 ...good luck

Thanks! Highly decorative sounds promising ...

What's the difference between a breeze block and a concrete block?
-
I'm thinking of the often decorative holey ones - you can use hollow concrete blocks on their sides, but their pattern-making is limited.
Sadly I couldn't find "Filigree Fit", maybe they are no more? -
I've been looking for the same thing - I found a company based in Wodonga called Heritage Building Products (ph 02 6056 1912, www.heritagebuildingproducts.com.au who deal with Hanson, a supplier of concrete breeze blocks. Hanson's contact number is 1300 365 565. They only seem to provide a diamond pattern, a louvre block or an open square. Better than nothing!

I beleive breeze blocks contain ash which is produced as a by-product of different kinds of industrial processes that involve burning coal.The ash is also known as breeze by those in the trade as breeze It is combined with agregate and cement to make breeze blocks. Breeze blocks are also known as cinder blocks.

And I'd always assumed they were "breezeblocks" because they allowed airflow ... they seem to be especially prevalent (and elaborate) in steamy Brisbane ...
Howdy, Stranger!
