Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the primary purpose of a modesty block?
A modesty block is used to reinforce internal right-angle joints in wooden furniture. It helps improve the structural integrity of cabinets, drawers, and shelving units by keeping corners tightly secured.
Q2: Are screws included in the pack?
No. Screws are not included in this pack. You will need to purchase appropriate wood screws separately, depending on the application.
Q3: What types of materials can these blocks be used with?
These blocks are suitable for use with solid wood, MDF, particle board, plywood, and similar materials commonly found in furniture construction.
Q4: Are the blocks visible after installation?
Typically, no. Modesty blocks are installed inside furniture where they are not visible during normal use. However, the beige colour helps them blend subtly in light-coloured or white furniture interiors.
Q5: Can these modesty blocks support heavy loads?

Yes. These modesty blocks are commonly used in professional joinery and commercial furniture production, particularly for cost-effective assembly of flat-pack or modular units.
Q7: Can they be used outdoors?
Modesty blocks are intended for indoor use. They may degrade over time if exposed to outdoor elements such as moisture, UV, or temperature fluctuations.
Q8: Are the modesty blocks reusable?
Yes, if removed carefully without damaging the block or screw holes, they can be reused for future furniture projects or repairs.
Q9: Do I need special tools to install them?
No special tools are required. A standard screwdriver or electric drill/driver is all that’s needed to fix them securely into place.
