Concrete masonry – consisting of water, aggregate and cement – is a builder’s best bet to protect human life inside the structure. Block doesn’t rot, warp or grow mold, and it stands up remarkably well to even the most extreme weather. Even with a lifespan of up to 100 years, you can be sure the building’s structural integrity isn’t compromised over the years like it can be with wood.
Concrete structures make it easy to sleep at night – even stormy ones – because you know your family or tenants have block on their side. Not only does it make sense to use concrete masonry, it can also make cents – lots of them. Many insurance policies offer discounts on block structures due to their resistant properties, saving you money that helps the material pay for itself over time.
When lives are on the line, concrete masonry is there for you.
