Test your concrete mix with minimal waste

Working on a new concrete recipe? Our smallest mould makes it easy to trial your mix without committing to a full-scale pour. Because the mould holds just 0.016 m³, you use far less material. And thanks to the high-quality S355 steel and precise design, you can rely on consistent results every time. Many of our customers use this mould to tweak their mix before scaling up production.

Small concrete block moulds and leftover concrete

At Betonblock®, we regularly invite our customers to share their thoughts. What are your ideas? What’s missing? And what works well?

When it comes to our smallest concrete block moulds, you’ve told us they’re ideal for creating products from leftover concrete. You then use these blocks in various ways, both for resale and for personal projects, like this little planter!
