Concrete Padstone 660 × 100 × 215mm
Precast concrete padstone sized 660 × 100 × 215mm, supplied for use where a bearing pad is specified to help distribute concentrated loads into masonry at support details.
This unit is commonly selected where the structural detail calls for a 660mm length with a 100mm width and 215mm height.
Common search term: Often searched as “600mm padstone”. Actual length is 660mm.
Quick spec
| Length (L) | 660mm |
|---|---|
| Width (W) | 100mm |
| Height (H) | 215mm |
Why this size is specified
- 660mm length for bearing details specifying a longer padstone unit
- 100mm width for designs specifying a narrow bearing pad
- 215mm height for deeper bearing build-ups shown on drawings/specification
What the dimensions control
- Length (L) – bearing length available/required within the support detail
- Width (W) – bearing area and compatibility with the support geometry
- Height (H) – alignment with the specified bearing build-up and surrounding masonry
Note: Padstone dimensions should match the structural detail shown on drawings/specification.
Specification & compliance note
Padstones are selected to suit the project’s structural design and bearing detail. Always follow the structural drawings and specification.
In UK practice this sits under Building Regulations structural requirements (Approved Document A) and recognised masonry design principles
(commonly aligned with Eurocode 6 / BS EN 1996), with the project engineer’s detail taking precedence.
