If you’re a Maryland business owner considering having masonry construction or replacement done, and are concerned about keeping energy bills low, you may want to investigate the option of using insulated concrete masonry units in your construction. Del Prete Masonry is here with some of the many benefits that insulated concrete can provide a commercial Maryland business.
What is Insulated Concrete?
Insulated concrete units are made with no connections or webbing between the masonry faces, filled with insulation, and are finished on the interior and exterior resulting in a masonry unit that provides a high quality thermal barrier. Benefits of using insulated concrete masonry units include:
Energy Savings
Insulated concrete can provide energy savings of up to a whopping sixty percent! By protecting your Maryland commercial structure with insulated concrete, you create an effective energy barrier between the interior and exterior of your building. Insulated concrete is also easy to install and can save you money on labor costs.
Environmentally Friendly
In addition to saving you money on HVAC costs, insulated concrete also saves the resources that would have been used to heat or cool your Maryland building. Because insulated concrete is finished on the interior and exterior, the need for painting or drywall is also reduced, making this one of the most environmentally friendly masonry materials available. Insulated concrete is also entirely nontoxic and contains no CFCs.
Incredibly Customizable
Insulated concrete is not only dual-finished, but is available in a wide variety of colors, ensuring you can customize the look of your Maryland commercial masonry structure to fit your business’ needs perfectly. Insulated concrete masonry units can also be reinforced both horizontally and vertically without needing to make any extra modifications, making reinforcement a breeze.
