Below grade masonry has to deal with a lot of stresses from the soil and moisture. That’s why higher strength Type S mortar is commonly used. Because it has more strength to stand up to weathering, it’s also great for patios.

Did you know that concrete gets stronger as it ages? Environmental hazards can still weaken it, however, such as weather, interaction with chemicals, and interference by tree roots, to name a few.

The first time a shipment of Portland cement was recorded was in 1868, when European manufacturers shipped cement as ballast in tramp steamers to the U.S. After that, Americans began making their own Portland cement.

Can you guess the average percent of aggregate material in concrete? If you guessed 60 to 75 percent or so, you're right. A good "recipe" is important when mixing concrete. It will impact curing time and the strength of the finished project.

We know that some buildings begin to lose definition when using the same color brick because of their size. No matter how many different brick façade colors you need, we’ve got them.

In concrete construction, you've probably seen projects that were poured in sections, like quilt pieces, with small gaps or "joints" in-between. This type of cement installation speeds curing and reduces the potential for cracking later.

Through-wall flashing needs to offer more than waterproofing capabilities (although this is the most important). It must also be able to withstand the demands placed on it during construction, including UV damage, punctures, burns, and tears.

American engineer Canvass White discovered valuable deposits of limestone in New York around 1818. When added to cement mixtures, this naturally hydraulic limestone hardened when water was added and grew stronger as it aged, producing a lasting, durable concrete.

When Joseph Aspdin created the world's first hydraulic cement -- one that hardens when water is added -- he dubbed it Portland cement, due to its similarity to a stone quarried on the Isle of Portland, off the British coast. In 1824, he obtained a patent for what would prove to be the world's most ubiquitous building material.

Did you know that masonry can be used structurally or as cladding or paving? It is strong in compression but requires the incorporation of reinforcing steel to resist tensile and flexural stresses.

Some people don’t realize that fly ash, ground slag, and other byproducts can end up in their concrete. These help with the hydration reaction, which means the concrete will be more weather-proof and more resistant to cracks and water damage.

Looking for an effective way to cut down the noise of the freeway next to your neighborhood or development? The mass of precast concrete absorbs sound to help reduce noise, and it can be precast into shapes that will make your wall look great.
