Concrete wind break? (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

breeze block

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'concrete' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'wind break?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'wind' could be 'breeze' (breeze is a kind of wind) and 'breeze' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'block' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for breeze block that I've seen before include "Large light brick" , "Lightweight brick" , "part of a build-up?" , "Building brick" .)
