Moisture protection & Efflorescence Control
When it comes to moisture protection, you can specify an Integral Water Repellent (IWR) in both Basalite® block and mortar. During the manufacturing process we use Integral Water Repellent add mixtures that are mixed throughout the concrete. The IWR increases resistance to wind-driven rain, moisture penetration, and reduces efflorescence.
Colors & Textures
Turn ordinary into a visual masterpiece by blending Basalite® colors, surface textures, sizes and shapes. We offer a large selection of Standard, Premium and special order colors that are available in Split Face, Ground Face and Precision textures. Speak with your local product expert to get samples.

Create unique and memorable design details with Basalite®’s variety of concrete masonry sizes and shapes. From a large 24” long block to specialty sills.
Resiliency
Buildings and structures with resilient design and materials can recover quicker following disasters, reduce green house emissions and improve the impacts of a building on the health and performance of occupants. Concrete masonry construction has inherent strength, durability, longevity, fire resistance, seismic and blast resistance all of which contribute to the resiliency of the built environment and can contribute to LEED credits.
