Sound Block units are the solution to acoustical correction and noise control problems in masonry construction. Martinsville Concrete's sound block units are attractive, economical, and efficient at sound absorption. Sound block units have the same compressive strength as standard hollow concrete masonry units of similar composition. Installed conventionally with little or no added labor, the in-place cost of sound block is low by comparison to most other acoustical materials. Rugged and durable in construction, sound block masonry units are an excellent choice for industrial settings, gymnasiums, mechanical equipment rooms, and comparable installations.

Advantages of Sound Block

• In addition to sound absorption, sound block walls have a superior sound transmission loss (STL) performance rating when compared to walls of ordinary hollow concrete block of similar composition.

• Costly long-distance shipping of sound block unites is never required as units are manufactured around the world, and therefore local to most any job site.

• Most concrete masonry appearance options are available for sound block units including colors, ground face and scoring.

• Sound block units may be painted without significant reduction of sound absorption.

• Sound block units are approved for use in use in reinforced masonry construction wherever ordinary hollow concrete masonry units are permitted.
