Question 1

What are adjustable foundation blocks and what are their benefits?

Accepted Answer

Adjustable foundation blocks are an innovative solution for modular construction that allows the bearing height to be set with millimetre accuracy. They adapt to uneven terrain, increase structural stability and allow a light cement grout to be injected beneath the building.

Question 2

What is the difference between Standard Block and Standard Plus Block?

Accepted Answer

Standard Block is the core model with a steel cap that adjusts the bearing height across a 120–200 mm range (70 mm of travel). Standard Plus Block adds magnetic grabbers that make fitting the skirting panel faster and easier — giving a more precise and aesthetically refined finish to the gap between the building and the ground.

Question 3

What anchoring methods are available for the Standard Block L in the ground?

Accepted Answer

Standard Block L can be anchored in two ways: chemically, using appropriate bonding agents, or mechanically, using deeply driven anchors. Both methods provide a secure, permanent connection — particularly important when bearing on variable ground conditions.

Question 4

What are the advantages of magnetic grabbers in foundation blocks?

Accepted Answer

Magnetic grabbers make fitting the skirting panel fast, stable and visually clean. They enable quick and precise finishing of the gap between the modular building and the ground, improving both protection and the long-term durability of the structure.

Question 5

Why is correct foundation bearing so important for modular buildings?

Accepted Answer

Proper bearing prevents uneven settlement, which over time causes structural damage. DrBlocks products deliver a precise, stable setup that minimises foundation-related problems from day one.

Question 6

How do DrBlocks blocks differ from ordinary concrete foundation blocks?

Accepted Answer

DrBlocks blocks offer far greater flexibility and precision. Standard models include an adjustable steel plate with a 120–200 mm height range, while Plus variants add magnetic grabbers for a better-fitting finish on any terrain.

Question 7

Is investing in DrBlocks blocks worth it?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — as an alternative to makeshift solutions they prevent timber decay, uneven levelling and the problems that follow: sticking doors and windows, air leaks and expensive repairs further down the line.

Question 8

Are DrBlocks blocks expensive?

Accepted Answer

DrBlocks blocks may look more expensive at first glance compared to standard concrete blocks, but relative to the total investment they represent only a tiny fraction of overall costs. It's a one-time purchase that delivers long-term stability and durability, reducing future repair bills.
