PYROTHERM
It's no coincidence wall systems specifying new certified 100% PyroTherm" High Performance Concrete Masonry Units (HPCMUs) are being completed at record speeds. After all, a 100% Pyro Therm HPCMU isn't your run-of-the-mill, "stock" grey block. It's more like a formula racer.
Re-engineered to be the best CMU ever made, the new 100% PyroTherm" HPCMU is manufactured according to strict purity, weight, strength and other performance requirements using only pure, carefully graded, low-density Pyro Therm aggregate. The use or blending of other impure, combustible or heavier fillers that would sap performance is strictly prohibited. So when you specify 100% Pyro Therm HPCMUS, you always can expect a consistently high quality, high strength, reduced weight CMU that helps masonry crews really lay tracks on the job site.
You can also expect lower substructure costs off the starting line due to reduced structural loading and re-bar requirements. As for strength, HPCMUs have the horsepower NCMA testing shows HPCMUs exceed ASTM minimum strength specifications by 65% to 250%. HPCMUs are efficient energy users too, saving up to 50% on energy costs vs. tit-wall systems. HPCMUs even deliver an added measure of safety and performance with enhanced fire resistance and superior noise abatement. Well proportioned and sharp-edged, HPCMUs have a high tensile strain capacity to resist chipping better, so your designs cross the frish line looking great every time.
For the high price-performance today's clients demand, offer your clients the 100% PyroTherm High Performance advantage.
