Super Insulator Series
Both the Cobblestone and Smooth Faced Sandstone range includes our “super insulator block” (patent pending), which can achieve an insulation rating in excess of R 23 (depending on thickness). Put simply, this block will thermally outperform any other brick, block or wall system available. The 12” block includes high density foam cast into the block at either 2” or 4” thicknesses.
Originally designed for the Canadian and North American climate, it is an ideal block for areas subjected to extreme weather conditions. As with all Builderscrete blocks and bricks this type of block is uniquely energy efficient, because unlike other Styrene / cement combinations the styrene runs down the center. With no areas for thermal bridging, this means that the wall still enjoys all the benefits of thermal lag (thermal momentum), but with increased thermal resistance (R value).

The key to successfully building Builderscrete® walls is to work to incremental benchmarks.
That is, both the horizontal and vertical courses need to be laid out in increments of “one block plus one mortar joint”, as per the chart below. By strict observance of these increments, the finished wall aesthetics will be maximized, waste eliminated and cost minimized.
