Lightweight Block is produced from blast-furnace slag, a recyclable material from the steel manufacturing process, and offers the same reliable performance and benefits as medium weight block while enhancing several key properties including:

• Improved Mason Productivity and Morale: lighter concrete block means walls go up faster and projects are completed sooner with fewer possible back injuries to masons and tenders.
• Increased Energy Savings: lightweight concrete’s resistance to heat flow is twice that of standard concrete, meaning less heating/cooling energy is needed.
• Superior Fire Ratings: lightweight concrete masonry is thermally stable because light weight aggregate has already been exposed to high temperatures, 2000°F, meaning even higher fire resistance ratings.
• Faster Construction: lower in wall, square foot costs, because of increased productivity.
• Increases Bricklayer Longevity: By lifting less weight every day a mason’s career is often extended
