E-Crete meets architects’, engineers’ and contractors' concern for durability, quality of construction, building with energy-saving products, as well as the projected future value of structures. The construction industry has become more competitive, profit margins are shrinking and construction schedules are accelerating, making E-Crete blocks an increasingly attractive, cost effective building material.

E-Crete blocks are a solid, high-performance concrete block used for over 75 years in a variety of commercial,x industrial and residential construction applications worldwide in a variety of climates. E-Crete is affordable, readily available, and can give perceptive designers an edge in a very competitive market. E-Crete is price competitive with other building materials and offers benefits that can reduce overall project costs. Lightweight E-Crete yields overall structural economies by reducing the mass that must be considered in seismic design and the dead load transmitted to foundations and superstructure members. E-Crete installs easily without special crews or equipment.

In addition to design and construction benefits, E-Crete provides significant advantages to commercial building occupants and homeowners over other building materials. Escalating cooling and heating costs make E-Crete’s high thermal efficiency and improved insulation properties attractive to owners. E-Crete can also satisfy the more stringent construction standards promulgated in the aftermath of recent fires, hurricanes and earthquakes. E-Crete’s proven durability and environmental benefits appeal to those who are becoming much more sensitive to the life-cycle economy of buildings.
