A REVOLUTIONARY NEW WALL SYSTEM
This luxury home in Arizona took advantage of the cost savings and speed that comes with using interlocking CMUS.
Advantages of the U-Block System
* Self-Aligning Units
* Durability and Strength
* Greater Accuracy
* Increased Construction Speed
* Also Available in Split-Face Block or Architectural Block
U-Block is a revolutionary new block-laying wall system designed as an alternative to standard CMU construction. U-Block features a unique angled tongue and groove configuration at the top and bottom of the block. U Block was developed with existing labor pool in mind. The shortage of skilled masons make standard block construction difficult and time consuming.
U-Block does not require special training because it can be constructed using standard masonry skills. In fact, spatented sell-alignment feature means that a mason apprentice can be used increasing productivity and profit margins.
The U-Block wall system has been used on homes in Northeast Florida. You'll be glad you used U-Block in your next construction project.
