Only concrete block can offer superior structural durability. By the use of structural masonry materials, even high rise load bearing masonry structures become a reality. Naturally fire resistant, concrete masonry units will not burn, melt or give off toxic fumes. Greater energy efficiency is obtained by placing insulation inserts into the block at the time of manufacture, creating a greater R-value that will reduce heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter.
