ES&C is the lightweight aggregate of choice for concrete masonry unit (CMU) manufacturing. It possesses unique characteristics that other lightweight aggregates simply do not have, including:
Low-weight/high-strength ratios;
Improved energy efficiency;
High-tensile strength/strain capabilities;
Proven performance in fire;
Long-term dimensional and thermal stability;
Superior noise abatement.
ES&C concrete masonry units are up to 40% lighter than traditional masonry units, resulting in:
- Increased mason productivity
- Lower construction costs
- Reduced injuries
ES&C masonry also provides superior insulation by combining high R-values with thermal mass and low thermal bridging.
Other benefits of ES&C masonry include:
- Superior fire resistance
- Effective sound absorption
- Excellent seismic performance
- Low shrinkage
- High strain capacity
- Lightweight Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU)
- SmartLite CMU Program
- PyroTherm High Performance (HPCMU)
- PyroTherm Lightweight Aggregate
- PyroTherm Color Sensations
