Belgard introduced its newest retaining wall system: Diamond Pro Air, designed with a new locator system and ultra-lightweight construction.
“We’re proud to offer Diamond Pro Air to our partners and contractors, adding another innovative solution to our portfolio of products,” said Jason Dean, senior vice president of pro sales, Oldcastle APG. “This product combines all the benefits of easy handling, efficient installation and long-lasting durability, making it an ideal choice for professionals seeking a top-quality solution. We’re excited to introduce this to the market and help our contractors realize the benefits of this product in their own operations.”
According to the company:
- The product is versatile and ideal for building retaining walls up to 12 feet tall, up to 3 feet, 4 inches high, with the buried course.
- Weighing 54 pounds per 1-square-foot block, it is lighter than traditional retaining wall blocks.
- The product is suited for both gravity and geogrid-reinforced wall systems, offering more design flexibility and installation options.
- At 54 pounds per block, the product aims for easy transport, handling and installation, additionally saving shipping costs by fitting up to 25 percent more product per truckload.
- The front lug design produces a 9/16-inch per unit setback, creating a consistent 4-degree batter for a near-vertical finish every time.
- The product is designed for curves with a minimum outside radius of just 4 feet on the top course, and with its near vertical batter, it aims to maximize land use.
- The customer can choose from a variety of block sizes and face styles to fit the look and feel of the project. Additionally, each block has a matching cap and corner to make finishing the look simple.
Belgard is offering Diamond Pro Air in buff, gray and toccoa.
