TwistBlock Moulds

The TwistBlock Moulds are particularly simple and flexible moulds for the production of hollow concrete blocks. The resource-saving product was specially developed for the construction of buildings in slums and can be reused up to 80%.

The simple plug-in system of the blocks enables the design of flexible floor plans in the tightest of spaces. The intuitive handling of the formwork does not require trained personnel on site. Neither mortar nor bricklayers are required for construction.

Thanks to their simple, flexible and cost-effective use, TwistBlock Moulds are optimally adapted to the spatial and social conditions in developing countries.

Flexible
thanks to the simple assembly of the finished building blocks. The size and layout of the building can thus be variably adapted to the available space, which is particularly limited in slum regions.

Resource-saving
because of the low material usage. Due to the cavities, only a small amount of material is required for production and the finished building blocks are assembled completely without mortar. The intuitive handling also means that no cost-intensive specialised personnel are required.

Reusable
due to the innovative construction system, which can be dismantled and reused up to 80% of the time. This makes building in slums particularly sustainable and cost-efficient.

The TwistBlocks are manufactured and sold in local factories with the support of StartSomewhere. Find out more about the production of the concrete mix and building with TwistBlocks.
