Oasis Grande Brick Floral Maxlife - 20 Pieces

When a standard floral foam brick is too small but a full Designer Block is more than the arrangement requires, the OASIS® Grande Brick provides a practical middle ground for professional large-scale work. The OASIS® Grande Brick Floral Foam Maxlife – 9" x 4.75" x 6" is made from heavy-density Deluxe OASIS® Floral Foam Maxlife and is sized to equal approximately two standard floral foam bricks in one continuous piece. That larger format reduces the need to tape multiple bricks together while providing stronger stem grip for larger flowers, woody materials, tropical stems, elevated designs, sympathy work, and event arrangements. Each case contains 20 Grande Bricks, giving florists a production-friendly format for oversized containers and substantial fresh-flower designs.

• Case Quantity: 20 Grande Bricks
• Brick Size: 9" x 4.75" x 6"
• Equivalent Volume: Approximately 2 standard floral foam bricks per Grande Brick
• Density: Heavy / Deluxe density
• Foam Type: Wet floral foam for fresh-cut flowers
• Primary Use: Large arrangements, event work, sympathy designs, oversized containers, and elevated floral designs
• Maxlife: Degrades by 75% within 1 year in an anaerobic environment according to ASTM D5511

The OASIS® Grande Brick is especially useful for professional designs that need more foam volume and stronger stem support than a standard brick can provide without moving all the way up to an oversized Designer Block. Its 9" x 4.75" x 6" format provides roughly twice the foam volume of a standard brick in one continuous piece, helping reduce seams, taping, cutting, and assembly time. Because it uses Deluxe OASIS® Floral Foam Maxlife, the Grande Brick offers heavier-density stem grip suited to thick, woody, tropical, large, and top-heavy floral materials. Florists can use it for event centerpieces, sympathy work, elevated arrangements, large urns, ceremony flowers, statement designs, and other fresh-flower applications where stability and water capacity matter.

The price listed is our everyday professional wholesale rate — the same rate working florists, event studios, retail floral shops, funeral florists, floral educators, and other buyers pay, with no account application and no minimum order required to access the price shown.

To hydrate the Grande Brick correctly, place it gently on the surface of clean water and allow it to absorb water naturally under its own weight. Do not push, hold, or force the foam beneath the water. Forced submersion can trap air inside the foam and create dry areas that may prevent inserted stems from receiving adequate water. Because the Grande Brick is substantially thicker than a standard brick, allow enough time for the entire block to saturate before beginning design work. Once hydrated, cut or shape the brick as needed, secure it appropriately inside the container, and maintain an accessible water reservoir around the foam whenever the design allows.

For large arrangements, use the Grande Brick as one continuous foundation whenever practical rather than cutting it into separate standard-size sections. Fewer seams can simplify mechanics and reduce the amount of waterproof tape needed to assemble the foam base. Insert thick or woody stems with a clean, deliberate placement instead of repeatedly removing and reinserting them into the same opening, since excessive repositioning can weaken stem grip. For elevated, asymmetrical, transport-sensitive, or particularly heavy designs, reinforce the foam with waterproof floral tape, cages, or other structural mechanics appropriate to the scale of the finished arrangement.

Who Uses This: Professional wedding florists, event and corporate floral designers, funeral and sympathy florists, retail flower shops, hotel and hospitality floral teams, production studios, floral educators, and wholesale buyers creating substantial fresh-flower arrangements that require more foam volume and stronger stem support than a standard brick provides.

What is the difference between an OASIS® Grande Brick and a standard OASIS® Floral Foam brick?
The Grande Brick is a larger, heavy-density foam block measuring 9" x 4.75" x 6" and provides approximately the volume of two standard floral foam bricks in one continuous piece. It is made from Deluxe OASIS® Floral Foam Maxlife, giving it stronger stem grip than the medium-density Standard and Instant formulas. The larger format reduces the need to tape two individual bricks together for substantial arrangements. It is particularly useful for oversized containers, event work, sympathy designs, and arrangements using thick or top-heavy stems.

When should I use an OASIS® Grande Brick instead of an OASIS® Designer Block?
The Grande Brick is a good choice when a design needs more capacity than a standard brick but does not require the much larger volume of a Designer Block. One Grande Brick equals approximately two standard bricks, while the OASIS® Designer Block equals approximately six standard bricks. Grande is therefore useful for large urns, substantial centerpieces, sympathy pieces, and medium-to-large event arrangements. Designer Block is better suited to very large installations and oversized floral foundations where multiple Grande Bricks would otherwise be required.

What is the most efficient way to buy OASIS® Grande Bricks for professional floral production?
LO Florist Supplies lists the OASIS® Grande Brick at its everyday professional wholesale rate, so the displayed price is already available to florists, event studios, funeral shops, retailers, and other buyers without a trade-account application, minimum order, or separate quote. Each case contains 20 large-format bricks, and each brick replaces approximately two standard floral foam bricks by volume. The continuous format can also reduce labor spent joining multiple pieces together. This makes the Grande Brick especially practical for shops regularly producing larger arrangements and event work.

Important Use Note: Use passive float-and-sink saturation only. Never force floral foam beneath the water surface, as trapped air can create dry areas inside the brick. Once previously saturated floral foam has completely dried, it cannot be effectively re-wetted for normal fresh-flower use.
