Reinforce Leca blocks?

[magnushasselqvist]

Hi

I have noticed that Weber now sells Leca hollow blocks, and I am wondering: Can I handle them somewhat like regular (concrete) shell blocks, i.e., place vertical reinforcement and pour concrete all the way down in a Leca hollow block wall to increase strength (e.g., where I know I want to hang something heavy on the wall)? Or will the Leca wall crack when the concrete cures? Grateful for an answer.

Best regards,

Magnus

The concrete does not expand during curing (unless it's expansion concrete) so there are no problems.

Jisses, that was a quick response! Thanks
