Quik-Brik is the cost effective alternative to traditional clay bricks. When one considers availability, durability and the lower cost of wall construc-tion. Quik-Brik remains the industry's value leader. Square foot costs are typically 20%-25% below clay +masonry.
Today, even municipalities are requiring more than split-face block. Quik-Brik meets the standards of Architectural Review Boards, and exceeds the requirements of ASTM C-90 for compressive strength and absorption. Quik-Brik installs faster, and features a finished look inside and out (2 for 1). Single wythe masonry is also structural, and can accommodate rebar placement and grouting as required by local code.
Quik-Brik can also be insulated using integral insulation strategies such as loose fill insulation or rigid insert insulation to increase R-values and provide energy efficient walls capitalizing on concrete masonry's thermal mass.
The ability to manufacture the two color unites in so many shapes and sizes has made the product user-friendly with architects, builders, developers and owners.
All Quik-Brik unites exceed the requirements of ASTM C-90 for compression strength and absorption. Integrally colored concrete using manufactured metallic oxide pigments of the highest quality are used to resist fading from ultraviolet light and attack by acidic substances. An integral water resistant polymer, Dry-Block resists water penetration associated with wicking by increasing the friction on water molecules. |
