All VERSA-LOK units are designed to install simply.
Smaller VERSA-LOK units such as the Cobble and Accent units are individually lighter, making handling them easier. Easy InstallationĪ unique pinning system, a variety of solid units that are easy to modify and don’t require core-filling, and a wide-range of design features, all combine to make VERSA-LOK wall systems favorites for do-it-yourselfers. Free-Draining Wall Faceīecause VERSA-LOK walls are built without mortar, water can pass through the wall joints to minimize hydrostatic pressure behind walls. As a result the walls retain a slight flexibility that allows them to tolerate freeze/thaw cycles. They are built on granular leveling pads and dry-stacked without mortar. VERSA-LOK retaining walls do not require structural footings below frost. Straight faces also discourage children from climbing on VERSA-LOK walls, and they eliminate insets or indents at the base of the walls, which are hard to trim and encourage invasive plant growth. Straight faces also minimize horizontal surfaces that collect snow and ice, improving freeze/thaw resistance. Straight faces give VERSA-LOK retaining walls an attractive classic facing. The National Concrete Masonry Association has more information on sustainable building using concrete masonry. Concrete is a sustainable material preferred by architects, designers, and engineers. VERSA-LOK concrete units do not create any environmental hazards like some chemically-treated products. The Mosaic system combines units that vary both in height and width, producing a random, natural stone look. The Harmony wall system lets you combine Standard and Cobble units in endless ways to create a variety of natural-looking designs. Smaller-scale units, such as Cobble and Accent, blend well with intimate residential settings, while still delivering 12-inch-deep, solid, stable wall faces, as does the larger Standard unit. With our solid units you can build a seemingly endless array of special landscape features, such as steps, freestanding walls, parapets, columns, seat walls, egress window wells, planters, bump-outs in walls, or walls along ponds, streams or lake shores. VERSA-LOK units are the most design friendly units in the industry and can be modified to accommodate practically any desired layout, including curves and corners. Solid units also provide improved durability against accidental impacts at the wall base.
Taller VERSA-LOK walls easily incorporate geogrid soil reinforcement with proper design walls can exceed 50 feet in height. The setback between courses ensures that VERSA-LOK walls lean back into the retained soil, improving stability. Solid VERSA-LOK units are thick concrete wall blocks with no thin sections, no voids, and no small protrusions vulnerable to damage.
VERSA-LOK walls eliminate the need for costly structural footings below frost. Even random-looking Mosaic walls and special design features, such as stairs and columns, can be created easily with standard VERSA-LOK units. Our simple systems deliver a high-end appearance without the high-end cost. VERSA-LOK segmental retaining walls cost significantly less than other types of walls, such as mortared masonry walls, big pre-cast blocks, or natural stone walls.
Combining Standard-Cobble units provides varying widths. Special details, such as top-of-wall step downs, look attractively finished when built with easy-to-modify, solid VERSA-LOK units. The design of VERSA-LOK wall units lets you create smoothly curved walls without the unsightly gaps seen in other systems. Also, various units can be combined in one wall to create varied patterns and special accents, such as stripes and insets. VERSA-LOK units come in various heights and widths, offering different scales and wall setbacks, for a variety of applications. The faces of the units are available in the traditional split-face texture and the natural, Weathered look. For larger projects, units with custom colors can sometimes be produced. Units and caps of various colors can be combined for aesthetic effects. This ensures that the color of a special feature, such as a stair or column, will be consistent throughout. Colors are integral throughout the units, so modified surfaces will display color consistent with the rest of the unit. Many color options, from solid to blended mixes, are available check with your local producer as colors vary regionally. VERSA-LOK retaining wall blocks let you choose from a variety of color, texture and size options. Advantages of VERSA-LOK Retaining Wall Systems for Homeowners Great Looking Color and Texture Options
