Designers Choose Concrete Brick for Resilient, Sustainable Structures

Written by Admin | Apr 4, 2024

Architects and designers specify County Materials’ Heritage Collection™ Designer Concrete Brick for its timeless aesthetic and its ability to contribute toward sustainable building goals.

Sustainable Materials

County Materials’ concrete masonry units are made from abundant natural resources that are responsibly excavated from local quarries. Heritage Collection Designer Concrete Brick is manufactured to demand with post-industrial, pre-consumer recycled content. In addition, excess and unusable post-industrial concrete is recycled and repurposed to reduce waste.

Long-Lasting Performance

Concrete brick is one of the most durable building materials. It insulates against noise, cold, and heat and maintains structural integrity in challenging climates and natural and manmade disasters. Buildings constructed with concrete masonry have an extended service life and require less frequent repair and replacement than structures built with alternative materials.

Heritage Collection units exceeds compressive strength requirements, producing a concrete brick less susceptible to breakage, which reduces waste during transportation and handling. Our integral color blending process also ensures lasting color performance as pigments are integrated throughout each unit. Heritage Collection's timeless sophistication remains in style as trends evolve.

This resilient, low-maintenance brick is available as structural load-bearing or full and thin veneer units and enhances the value of commercial, public, and residential buildings.
