Life Safety Benefits

Concrete masonry is a particularly superior structural system that enables the highest priorities in protecting human life - seismic and fire resistance - while remaining chemically inert. In fact, the majority of fire-related injuries and deaths are from airborne toxins, not from heat. Concrete masonry and real glass block do not release toxins, and are more likely to be structurally stable.

Interlocking concrete pavements (ICPs) naturally demarcate pedestrian areas and slow zones, and have good slip and skid resistance.

Glass block combines views and natural lighting with sturdy glass masonry in reinforced panels that are resistant to seismic and high wind forces, and add to the security of a project.
