Concrete block is a product designed to last a lifetime and more. Concrete block gets stronger as it ages. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of homes and buildings constructed with concrete block that are 50 to 100 years old or more.
Block’s strength, durability, and energy efficiency make it the perfect building material for every use. Its carbon footprint is considerably lower than competing products, especially when taking into account its unique thermal mass features and lifecycle cost advantages.
Concrete block is one of the easiest construction materials to design with. It comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, all just right for the latest in design and style.
Insurers know the advantages of a concrete block constructed home and are willing to give substantial discounts to insure them.
Termites can’t eat it. So your home will remain safe and strong for years and years.
Which means big savings in dollars that would normally go into keeping wood-constructed buildings habitable.
It’s all about the scientific phenomenon of thermal mass which, very simply put, means that concrete block traps the heat during the day instead of letting it pass through to the interior of a building. Then at night, it releases it back out- not allowing energy-draining heat inside. In Florida, during the summer, that’s huge!
Hurricanes in Florida are a common occurrence and building with anything other than block is just asking for trouble. Protect your family and your investment.
Concrete block provides no food that supports mold and mildew. Wood does-it’s a simple truth. And when was the last time a concrete block melted away from rot? It won’t-that’s another fact.
