Concrete masonry products are a durable, lasting building material that surpasses compressive strength requirements. While chosen from a functional vantage point of offering load-bearing options during the design process, they also come in many vibrant and creative color options. County Materials’ concrete masonry units provide design flexibility and lasting performance.
The Concrete Idea
County Materials’ load-bearing CMUs provide the strength needed to support commercial, industrial, institutional, and multifamily buildings. Our high-strength concrete stands up to the elements and is a low-maintenance building material that resists fire, rot, and severe weather. In addition, concrete is a high performer when it comes to insulating building interiors against noise, cold, or heat.
Structural Integrity
Load bearing concrete masonry has an excellent capacity for supporting roofs and additional floors in various types of structures. In addition, the cavities in the CMUs offer a built-in functionality, allowing them to easily accommodate vertical steel reinforcement.
A Solid Investment
The high-strength concrete used in County Materials’ masonry units provides reliable structural integrity and a striking appearance throughout their extended service life. Compared to other materials, concrete masonry resists deterioration which can add up to significant money savings through reduced insurance costs. In addition, structures built with concrete masonry hold their value.
