Made up of blocks to be assembled, the Idéablock range allows you to personalize your garden according to your terrain and desires thanks to its various elements. Since spring 2010, there are now 2 shapes for this range: straight or curved, in order to adapt it perfectly to the morphology of the land to be developed.

Idéablok by Orsol: new curved shape, new color for personalized outdoor fittings

ORSOL, the French leader in interior and exterior decorative cladding and outdoor fittings, is expanding its range of Idéablok architectural accessories. This spring, 2010, Idéablok elements are available in a new "curved" shape (in addition to the existing "straight" shape), a shape that adapts to more flexible, less rigid constructions in order to follow the natural lines of a relief. The sienna color has also been added to the collection* to provide a wider choice of colors and is resolutely in tune with the times. A warmer tone tinged with touches of ochre that blends elegantly with exterior elements.

* initially launched with the natural tone

IDEABLOK, A CONCEPT FOR MODULAR GARDEN DESIGNS

Idéablok is an original and innovative process. Composed of self-supporting elements (walls and corners) and decorative elements (slabs, wall caps) that can be combined with the different stones in the ORSOL range, Idéablok allows for a multitude of creations to design and decorate the garden: ponds, fountains, borders, low walls with straight or curved lines, steps, terrace design, barbecues, decorative pillars... where only imagination can be the limit to creation!

Idéablok is appealing thanks to its very simple installation system, which turns out to be child's play: in fact, it is based on the principle of stacking blocks like a child's construction game. Without distinguishing between the joints of one block and another, Idéablok allows for jointed or dry-stone installation. A wide selection of wall caps also completes the existing range of accessories.

CURVED IDEABLOK, IDEAL FOR CREATING BORDERS OR LOW WALLS

Curved Idéablok makes it easy to create single- or double-sided interior or exterior wall arches. The new "dry stone coping" wall caps, with their narrower widths, allow for more complete and ever more natural wall constructions. They provide a smooth, straight or rounded line and allow for more creative garden designs with natural finishes.

IDEALBLOK WATER BLADE FOR PONDS, DECORATIVE AND ECOLOGICAL

The Idéablok stainless steel water blade has been designed with a contemporary feel. It diffuses water evenly in a "water wall" style. Its bracket-based mounting system fits into the grooves of the blocks while the supply pipe is hidden inside the blocks. This water blade thus provides oxygenation of the water in a natural pool or pond, a very trendy ecological aspect that appeals due to its ease of installation and responds to a current consumer concern.
