More about Blox
Blox has a superior compression strength that was tested against other concrete masonry units by Arizona State University. Blox load bearing psi was found to be 3,000 psi compared to standard 1900 psi for masonry requirements.
Texas Tech University, PSI, Omega Point Laboratories are other facilities conducting tests pertaining to compressive strength, insulation and fire ratings, moisture absorbency, and wind load tolerances.
Blox Building Systems is leading the charge with the International Code Council to set standards for this type of construction material. The American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) and National Fire Safety Rating Systems (NFRS) both have standards that our Blox will exceed in present and future testing.
