The Novum Wall system

What is Novum Wall Alpine?

Novum Wall Alpine is a machine-set modular retaining-wall system combining wet-cast concrete with a detailed natural-stone face. The blocks are stacked to form retaining and landscape walls, and the Alpine texture gives a packed, stacked-stone appearance across the finished face.

It is supplied through Paton’s Bonnie Blocks for residential, commercial and civil engineering landscaping, with dedicated technical resources available to support properly designed walls.

Appearance and construction

Natural-stone appearance with machine-set construction

Novum Wall is built from wet-cast concrete units with modelled stone faces, so the finished wall reads as natural stone rather than a plain block wall. Because the system is machine-set, blocks are placed and aligned to a consistent coursing line during installation.

The Alpine texture is a detailed stacked-stone face. It suits residential landscaping and smaller-scale retaining walls where a natural-stone appearance is wanted.
