One of the most durable building materials, concrete masonry units insulate against heat, cold, and noise. CMUs have solid structural integrity that can withstand challenging climates and even perform well during natural and manmade disasters. Buildings constructed with concrete masonry units require less maintenance than structures built with other materials.

Thermal Performance

Because concrete blocks react more slowly to temperature change, they help manage the temperature environment within the structure. They can hold a desired temperature (whether warm or cold) longer than other materials. This natural energy efficiency reduces the demand on HVAC units, which saves money and keeps buildings at a more consistent level of comfort.

Whether you’re a builder or homeowner, the durability and resilience of block deliver a noteworthy reduction in insurance costs because concrete doesn’t suffer the same risk of breakdown as other materials. Also, due to durability, structures built with concrete masonry hold their value.
