Waste Management
Product arrives palletized with banding. Excess product can be reused or donated. Pieces leftover from cutting and trimming can be crushed for base fill.
Although often overlooked when evaluating the envrionmental performance of a product, durability is extremely important as it can reduce the impact associated with building stock by eliminating wastes from demolition and conserving resources otherwise needed for repair and replacement. Masonry units are inherently durable, in fact most block buildings are demol-ished due to obsolescence rather than deterioration.
Some of the properties that contribute to the durability of masonry units include resistance to ultraviolet solar radiation, vermin and insects, chemicals, extreme weather such as wind, fire and earthquakes. One of the challenges to the durability of concrete is the potential for reaction with water. All Superlite’s masonry units are treated with an integral water repellent that eliminates potential for mold growth and deterioration and also controls efflorescence. Integral water repellent eliminates the need to apply sealers-further reducing the environmen-tal and health impacts of maintaining coatings and finishes maintenance.

Energy Efficiency - R-Values/Thermal Mass
The R-values below are representative of a hollow cavity. Intergal insulation such as loose and foamed in place fills will increase the R-value, while a grout fill will decrease the R-value yet increase the thermal mass properties.

Thermal Mass
When selecting envelope systems it is important to take into account masonry’s inherent thermal storage capabilities, refered to as thermal mass. Well designed buildings benefit by reducing indoor temperature fluctuations and therefore peak energy demand. During colder temperatures thermal mass absorbs heat by direct sunlight and later realeases heat during colder parts of the day. During warmer temperatures thermal mass absorbs heat during the hottest parts of the day and realeases it during off-peak hours when HVAC equipment is more efficient and energy prices are lower. R-values and U-values do not account for advantages of thermal mass, yet ASHRAE 90.1 allows project teams to measure thermal mass properties when modeling energy performance with programs such as DOE-2.
Indoor Environments - Acoustics
Offered for all product lines, Acousta Wal® will improve the acoustical performance of your spaces. Acousta Wal® is avail-able in four shapes to suit any project.
Type IV - Absorbs a broad range of sound frequencies and is ideal for gyms and performing arts centersType IVRF - Type IV with reinforcement capabilities Type I - Absorbs low sound frequencies and is ideal for indus-trial facilities, such as power plants Type IRF - Type I with reinforcement capabilities

Trendstone Plus®
Trendstone Plus® are integrally colored, ground face architectural masonry units, that are filled, polished and sealed with a factory applied satin gloss. Trendstone Plus® products have the look and durability of Terrazzo
Split Face® Split Face® are integrally colored, rough hewn architectural masonry units
Mesastone® Mesastone® are integrally colored, ground face architectural ma-sonry units that have a uniform texture and are shot blasted.
Mohave Stone® Mohave Stone are integrally colored, rough hewn architectural masonry units, that are shot blasted.
Light Reflectance - Astra-Glaze
Depending on the application, orientation, and climate, the reflectance of a vertical surface can impact the energy efficiency of the building envelope. If your project is performing an energy model include light reflectance to quantify the benefits. In addition, reflective interior surfaces can increase effectiveness of natural and artificial light reducing lighting requirements.
