Unprecedented rising energy costs are stimulating new initiatives for construction and conservation that will give all our citizens advantages for a better future. The Polyblock Building System is helping turn our nation's green aspirations into a positive, sustainable reality.
Unlike traditional wood framing, affordable Polyblocks create a highly insulated structure that is safe, strong and stable. It is technology that delivers higher performance while respecting our limited resources.
The Polyblock Building System is a fast, simple and efficient method that lends itself to construction by professional builders and do-it-yourselfers. The system is based on the Polyblock, a 32" x 8" x 8" block manufactured from rigid, low-density polyurethane foam.
This foam block - far superior to the polystyrene blocks that are now available - represents a major advance in insulated concrete form technology. With the Polyblock Building System, we can build homes and commercial buildings out of concrete-from basement to roofline-with minimal lumber usage. Concrete post-and-beam construction technology-although available for many years-has been too expensive for application in most markets. The Polyblock Building System is concrete post-and-beam construction made affordable.
Developed in the late 1970s, Polyblocks are an innovation that was ahead of its time. Now, changing environmental and economic realities have created a critical need that the Polyblock Building System is perfectly suited to meet. After 30 years of extensive research, development and use in the field, Polyblock is ready to build for the future.
