Island Tough

In this case, more is less

Why MSI only stocks two-cell 6" and 8" concrete block.

Look at the 6" and 8" block we stock and you'll see two cells. Other vendors' blocks have three. Here's why we only carry two-cell.

Two-cell concrete block
  • Easier to fill. Most VI contractors and owners want every cell reinforced and filled solid. Two larger cells are far easier to fill with concrete and steel; three-cell block is nearly impossible to fill and reinforce properly.
  • Lighter. Easier to handle and place correctly.
  • Easier to line up. Cells stay properly staggered and still fill easily.
  • Stronger sand. Our block is made with manufactured blue bitch sand, which is much stronger than other sands.

The products we sell are designed for our islands - that's why we sell two-cell block. Why settle for less? See concrete & masonry.
