Design Flexibility:
Concrete block is an extremely flexible building material. Building with concrete block means you have the flexibility to do just about anything you want. Regardless of whether it be a one story home or a three story home with such options as columns, arches, high ceilings and tall windows. Concrete block provides the needed flexibility for every type of job.

Durability:
"Beauty That Lasts". Concrete is one of the most durable materials on Earth. Here in Florida, concrete block is unquestionably the most practical home building material. There's no rotting or wall warping. No extensive maintenance or upkeep requirements. Your home retains it curb appeal and its value – beautifully.

Energy Efficiency:
Attractive Energy Savings- Concrete block homes are more energy efficient than wood homes, especially in Florida's hot, humid, sun baked climate. That's because the mass factor of block acts as a reservoir to trap and store heat from the sun, so that interiors stay cooler longer. The Florida Energy Code recognizes the value of mass by requiring much less insulation for block walls than for wood frame walls. Another point: air infiltration from "wall leaks" is estimated to cause up to 39% of home energy loss. Concrete block walls, which are more airtight than wood frame walls, seal in air conditioned air far better – while keeping out hot, humid air.

Fire Resistance:
You Won't Get Burned with Concrete Block. Concrete block is a non-combustible material. Your family and possessions are safer in a block home and your fire insurance rates will be much lower too. In addition, concrete block significantly reduces unwanted noise pollution.

Termite Resistance:
Concrete Block terminates Problems. Florida may be the most termite-infested state in the nation. Wood frame homes are tasty targets for these destructive insects, but not block homes. What's more, block homes are virtually immune to dry rot, one of the major causes of exterior maintenance in Florida.

Weather & Storm Resistance:
It is a Beautiful Choice for ugly weather. After a hurricane passes, weather resistance may be the most important benefit to a home buyer nowadays. In a concrete block home you and your family will enjoy increased safety and peace of mind during dangerous weather. At the same time, your insurance rates will be lower, which can add up to considerable savings here in Florida. Moreover, unlike wood, block does not deteriorate in any way, further protecting the value of your investment.
