Breeze blocks — also known as decorative concrete blocks, screen blocks, and solar blocks — have experienced a tremendous revival over the past few years. Many are made by regional operations, including those in business making breeze blocks since the 1950s and 1960s. I followed up each one of them, and we now have identified 31 breeze block sellers across most of the U.S. — including some who will work with you to ship.
Find concrete breeze block in more than 76+ patterns from 32 companies across the U.S. using my comprehensive list, updated January 2022. Note, while my listings are organized by state, check with various manufacturers regarding delivery regionally or even nationwide. >>

Honestly, my eyes were glazing over!) According to the company, their blocks are different than traditional concrete breeze blocks. They say, “These hand-made blocks use finer sand aggregate and hydraulic presses, rather than the course cast products of the past. This makes these blocks thinner, smoother….” The tiles look to be 7.5″ square — I didn’t go through each one to check, though.

Install safely
Be aware, dear readers, that these are ORNAMENTAL blocks. It is my understanding that they are not STRUCTURAL blocks. That is, they are not meant to be load bearing. They are meant to be pretty and even then, to be installed properly so as not to fall over and hurt someone. So use them/install them accordingly — safely — consult with the manufacturer. I am not the expert, so get with pros.
A pause to look at the history of breeze blocks…
Who invented breeze blocks?
American architect Edward Durell Stone is widely recognized as launching breeze blocks into the mid century American mainstream with his award-winning 1954 design for the new American Embassy in New Delhi, India. There, he used screen blocks across the entire width and height of the facade, creating a monumental exterior that was functional, too. Before the embassy building was complete, he used his breeze block design on his own Manhattan townhouse, which led to widespread publicity for the concept. Other companies quickly picked up on the idea and within a few years, with the 1960s at full tilt, breeze blocks were being manufactured across the U.S. to be used on houses and commercial and institutional buildings.
I found two great resources for exploring the history of breeze blocks. First, the 396-page, 2007 thesis on Edward Durell Stone by Mary Anne Hunting traces the most important works of Stone over his career and how their part in the history of modern architecture. Second, the small, more recent book Concrete Screen Block, The Power of Pattern by Ron and Barbara Marshall traces the history of breeze block and its journey throughout its heyday in mid century America from the late 1950s through the early 1970s.
The evolution of breeze blocks
Stone had been playing with the concept of “perforated grilles” for many years prior to the embassy design, Hunting pointed out. Some of Stone’s influences are cited in his 1959 patent for what became known as his “Empress” breeze block design: Works from 1883, 1905, 1922, 1934, and 1953 are all referenced. Hunting also says that Stone traveled throughout India doing research for the embassy design and that his use of the blocks references similar, historical uses of “perforated grilles” in vernacular architecture.
Other influences likely include Belgian architect Auguste Perret’s 1922-23 use of screen blocks in the Notre Dame du Raincy in Le Raincy, France (Stone had visited Perret’s churches), and some of Frank Lloyd Wright’s work. I also found a 1947 example of chimney block being used essentially like breeze block in a 1947 catalog from Besser Manufacturing Company (Besser was a major manufacturer of concrete masonry units aka concrete blocks).
Indeed, the idea of using decorative tiles and such to create screens that provide some shade against the hot sun but still allow air to flow in has history going back centuries.
All that said, Edward Durell Stone’s dramatic design, plus America’s housing boom — especially in the sun-drenched west, plus the ancient concept of brise-soleil (“sun break”) all seem to have come together at the right time and right place to create this iconic product, the 20th decorative concrete breeze block.
What is the most famous breeze block design?
Edward Durell Stone’s “Empress” design breeze block, patented in 1959, is arguably the most famous breeze block design. He used this design on the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi in 1954 and before the embassy could even be finished, along the front of his own townhouse in Manhattan. Note that in his patent, Stone called this “wall block.” You can still get this breeze block from various sources today!
What are all the names for breeze blocks?
The word “breeze block” — most currently used today — seems to have come from the French “brise soleil”, or “sun break.” Edward Durell Stone’s 1959 patent called them wall block. Other terms for breeze block include: Screen block, architectural screen block, screen wall block, solar block, pattern blocks, decor blocks, decorative concrete block, and other variations of these terms. Hunting, in her 2007 thesis, calls them “perforated grilles.”
Breeze blocks reached their peak of popularity in the 1960s
Concrete block manufacturers quickly picked up on Edward Durell Stone’s stylish use of screen block beginning in the mid- to late-1950s. It seems like decorative block walls peaked in popularity in the 1960s — used not only on homes in places like California and Arizona, but also on commercial buildings. At some point in the 1960s or 1970s, they seem to have crossed that line separating “super stylish and trendy” to … dare I say it, “kitsch.” Can there be too much of a good thing? Seems like mid century America’s appetite for breeze blocks was sated.
But… the best of what’s old always is new again. So starting in the 2010s, and-in-hand with the popular revival of mid century and mid century modern residential and interior design, breeze blocks are back.

You rock, Carlos!
Rick Mosher says
Carlos,
My daughter, wife and son-in-law have a house being renovated in Ponce. I mentioned decorative concrete blocks a few days ago to them as they will be rebuilding a fence and a short wall lining a walkway.
These would add a nice touch to the project.
Any help you can give to fininding local vendors would be great.
Thanks,
Rick
Karen says
Wow! Thank you for taking the time to compile those photos. Is there any way you could make these PinIt able? Maybe if they are on some Pin sites, we can create more interest or find some sources. Again, thank you!

Carolina Prestress
Lake City SC
pam kueber says
dotty, you rock some more.
Dave says
Carolina PreStress does not make screen blocks anymore. I just got some double y’s delivered. I ordered from A-1 in Orlando, arranged an LTL carrier to pick them up and deliver to a local Ace Hardware since I don’t have a forklift at my house.
A pallet of 198 blocks was around $940 with tax, LTL to Wilson, NC was $470 and yes my wallet still hurts but at least my new courses of wall will match the lower section. I had Ace deliver for a ‘tip” and a beer for the driver.
There was no other way to do it where I live.
It wasn’t that hard to arrange, but it came with a cost.
Cheers,
Dave

Scott O says
The blocks used in the El Rancho Vista Estates are not the “screen block” but rather refered to as “shadow block”. Reall great solid blocks with a “v” ridge or double “v” and others. There is a place in Riverside Ca. that will still make this block in various patterns used in this Wexler neighborhood. They don’t keep ’em in stock but will get out their old molds and make them as of about 2 years ago when I inquired. A $400 or so tooling fee before they’ll start making them.
Jim A says
Scott,
I have a house in El Rancho Vista in Palm Springs that I am renovating and I’m trying to find matching diamond block to use on a new wall. Do you know the name of that company in Riverside? Thanks!
John H says
Hi Jim, Just saw this post and not sure if you ever got the block you were looking for. They have it at Orco Block in Banning.
(link now gone)
I believe this is what you are looking for and should not have to pay to run a “special order” as I believe it is in stock!
John
Michael Mahon says
Scott,
I also live in Palm Springs, and am looking for a source for decorative screen block to match the early-1960s block used at our development.
If you can provide a pointer to that Riverside supplier, I’d be most grateful.
-michael
Michael Mahon says
I have an update that many of you may find useful.
A local contractor (in Palm Springs, but you no doubt have similar folks wherever you are) offered to make a form for casting our decorative screen blocks for $350. The form will allow eight blocks to be cast at one time. The run rate per block is $1.87, so we won’t have to make more than several dozen blocks to get a very reasonable amortized per-block price. The contractor is also willing to stockpile the completed blocks at his facility until they are needed!
For many of you who are contemplating adding a wall or making an extensive repair, this course may be just the thing.
He will be using some of our existing blocks for patterns for the form, but will provide channels on the sides (hidden from front and back) to accomodate rebar reinforcing rods, as required by current codes.
Check into this possibility. You may find that you can have exactly what you need fabricated at very reasonable cost.
-michael
John H says
Hi Michael,
I am also interested to “partnering up” to run some block, What design are you interested in? I have a 2nd home near you and it might make this feasible for both of us.
John
John H says
Hi Mike,
Are you still interested in making some blocks?, If not, can you supply the name of the person that is willing to make them?
Thanks,
John
Michael Mahon says
Hi!
Sorry I missed your earlier post.
Our HOA has gone with another supplier–a maker of decorative concrete castings, for whom decorative blocks are easy.
He is charging $750 for a “16-up” mold, and $2.75 per block. Higher than our earlier quote, but he can do the job. 😉
I can email you a photo of our block design–there’s always a chance that it’s the same as yours. If not, I think he would be receptive to making other molds for runs of 250 or more blocks.
-michael
John H says
Hi Mike, I am interested, you can email me at jcheard@aol.com with the pics.
Thanks,
John
Mary S says
I’m going to have a go at making some blocks to my own design, using timber for the mould and polythene for the release agent.
Do you know the details of what kind of mix I should use? I.e. proportion of cement to sand (people tell me 3 to 1), what kind of cement, and what kind of sand?
Many thanks for any help with this!
Mary
Erica A says
Hi Michael,
Would you be willing to provide me with the information for the contractor in Palm Springs? I live in Washington State and am remodeling my mid-century modern home and can’t find these block anywhere. Would love to just go ahead and cast my own. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much!!
~Erica
Michael says
Erica, bad news. ;-(
The supplier we were planning to use has gone out of business–the recession and consequent construction slump was too deep and too long for him.
We’re now looking again for a supplier…
Annie B. says
Thank you for featuring these on the blog. Concrete screen blocks have been a long time Holy Grail for me. I’ve searched the state of NC for a supplier, but have come up dry. Any help in finding a source here in eastern North Carolina would be greatly appreciated.
Ted says
Annie: I’ve likewise been searching in NC…….only source I can find is Cemex (Asheville plant only); opposite end of state from you! Waiting for info on exact styles they carry (very limited I’m told). Will dig around in VA and SC too. Really, am thinking best route is to select from one of Pam’s better listings, which carries a lot of variety to choose from, in nearest state where the stuff is still somewhat popular (e.g. Florida), then inquire about shipping.
Also, keep in mind the ways other more-available masonry can be creatively used too, for that Mid-Century, or Mid-Century Modern, look…..for example, standard clay bricks (4″ x 8″ x 2-2/3″); notice how they were often lined up straight (“stacked bond”) vs. the more familiar way (“running bond”) in fireplaces etc. Same goes for CMUs (8″ x 8″ x 16″ Concrete Masonry Units). Both of course can be painted any color you like to be more seamless with the architecture. Look around & you’ll start to notice infinite ways architects have put masonry together (for all historic periods & styles, not just Mid-Century): bricks/blocks pulled out a little here, recessed a little here, left out to create a void there, to give all sorts of patterns and texture and degrees of ‘transparency’ to the walls. After all, that was the whole idea with MCM! — making high design with standard off-the-shelf materials.
Annie B. says
Ted,
Thank you thank you thank you. Wonderful ideas! I almost hate to admit this, but I’ve been keeping an eye on a concrete block fence which is in a terrible state of repair on a rental house not far from my home. If the owners decide to remove it, I want to be there with my wheelbarrow!
Jane (aka) Elvis says
I love these blocks for a screening wall. I wanted to replace our hundreds of feet of chain link with them, but they’re too expensive for that much linear footage. Maybe we can figure out a creative way to incorporate them into our patio re-design. I’ll need to see if they’re carried somewhere in Oregon.
Patrice says
Hi Jane, Why don’t you try just doing one low wall on your patio? I think that would look great! We had one in the house I grew up in, just one wall of the patio and it looked fine
Shane says
There’s a place right her in Columbus, Oh called Oberfelds that still makes it too! MAybe it’s Oberfields, now I’m confused…
pam kueber says
I can’t find this… Find an Oberfields that makes masonry, but no mid mod style like this…
Lauren says
A person in or near Sacramento might have luck at http://www.thebrickyard.com or http://www.silverado.com … though I didn’t see good examples via the websites, no doubt they would have ’em if anyone would, or at least be able to direct a person 🙂
~L
pam kueber says
Thanks, Lauren! I may call them at some point…
Leslie says
I posted. Question on the page for the blocks on Homedepot. I recieved a call from them advising they are only in Hawaii. Oddly their posted answer was vague referring customers to search each individual store or contact staff at your local store. My earlier call to my local store found they did not know anything about it & it was not listed in their system. They did try to help but did not have any info on it. The asnswer Homedepot posted DID NOT mention the blocks are only available in Hawaii. Very puzzeling.
pilgrim says
fantastic! an australian supplier! i have been admiring these bricks around our neighborhood (largely built up during the early 60s) and i was thinking i’d have to scavenge around a salvage yard to find my own!
ps: REALLY love this blog! one of my new faves 🙂
