Bautex Block More Lightweight, Quicker to Install than Traditional Concrete Form Walls

Measuring 10 inches by 16 inches by 32 inches and weighing 45 pounds, the Bautex Block is lightweight, quick to install, requires no mortar between blocks and can easily be cut and formed to meet most design requirements.

On average, an installed Bautex wall weighs 33 percent less than one built with standard concrete masonry unit block, and uses 50 percent less concrete than traditional insulating concrete form walls. Among its advantages are increased energy efficiency (continuous insulation, thermal mass, air tightness); FEMA and tornado-rated hurricane protection in winds up to 160 mph (250 mph with masonry veneer finishes); a four-hour fire rating and sound reduction.
