Concrete Padstone 215 × 100 × 140mm
Precast concrete padstone sized 215 × 100 × 140mm, supplied for use where a bearing pad is specified to help distribute concentrated loads into masonry at support details.
This low-profile format is commonly selected where the structural detail calls for a 140mm height and a compact unit length.
Quick spec
| Length (L) | 215mm |
|---|---|
| Width (W) | 100mm |
| Height (H) | 140mm |
Why this size is specified
- 215mm length for compact bearing details where longer units aren’t required by the design
- 100mm width suited to details where a narrow bearing pad is specified
- 140mm height for shallower support 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.
