Belgard Engineers Innovative Retaining Wall Systems
Atlanta – Belgard, a leading U.S. producer of concrete block and hardscape products, recently unveiled the latest addition to its retaining wall products–BelAir Wall™ systems. Belgard BelAir Wall systems, available nationwide, allow for effortless construction of free standing walls and retaining walls. The design allows for limitless installations with variable heights and random patterns, making it unique to other wall systems. It incorporates two, three-inch and two, six-inch high modular products to create a natural stone pattern. It can be used in residential applications such as curves, corners, terraces, raised patios, steps and columns. BelAir Wall systems have an easy-to-use locator system that utilizes rear lips to ensure proper alignment of each piece, saving time and money on installation. The four-piece design and blended colors offer an alternative look to traditional retaining wall blocks. BelAir Wall systems mimic the appearance and texture of Belgard pavers to provide a unified look and feel to designs. Trapezoidal caps and column units complete the system. "BelAir Wall systems are not only user-friendly, but also rival the organic beauty of natural stone," said Ken O'Neill, Vice President of Belgard. "BelAir Wall systems help illustrate Belgard's dedication to providing beautiful, easy-to-install products without the high cost of natural stone." Belgard's BelAir Wall systems are available and installed nationwide through a network of authorized Belgard dealers and contractors.
