Can you buy 2 inch breeze blocks/ cinder block?

[houseprojects]

Hello,

I am looking at renovating an old house which currently has some damage. The walls currently have as part of their construction 2 inch breeze blocks - these seem to no longer be a standard size is there somewhere where you can buy them specially made or second hand?

Thanks

Why not get get 100mm and cut them down yourself. You can get 75mm or 65mm coursing blocks but I'm not aware of any 50mm.

Don't think so. You used to be able to get 75mm blocks but I haven't seen them around for years.

You can get 50mm thick aerated concrete panels in France, but they're about 500mm long X about 250mm high. Beton Cellulaire, they're called.
There's a Brico Depot in Calais that will probably have them.
It depends on how many you need as to whether it's worth the trip.
