Benefits of Concrete Block Construction The Danforth community located on Hodges Blvd is one of only a few in Jacksonville with newer built concrete block homes. Two builders were involved in the development of Danforth: Bovis and DR Horton. Bovis was the only builder who used concrete block. So if concrete block is so great, why don't more builders use it? Quite simply it's the cost. It just costs more to build a concrete block home. But isn't your family and investment worth it? Here are just a few benefits of owning a concrete block home: Weather and Storm Resistant After a hurricane passes, weather resistance may be the most important benefit to a home owner. In a concrete block home you and your family will enjoy increased safety and peace of mind during dangerous weather. At the same time, your insurance rates will be lower, which can add up to considerable savings here in Florida. Moreover, unlike wood, block does not deteriorate, further protecting the value of your investment. Fire Resistant Concrete block is a noncombustible material. Your family and possessions are safer in a block home and your fire insurance rates will be much lower too. Sound Proof Concrete block significantly reduces unwanted noise pollution when compared to a wood frame home. Better Termite Protection Florida may be the most termite-infested state in the nation. Wood frame homes are tasty targets for these destructive insects, but not block homes. And block homes are virtually immune to dry rot, one of the major causes of exterior maintenance in Florida. Although wood is used when building a concrete block home, the amount of wood used is significantly less than in a frame home. Energy Efficiency Concrete block homes are more energy efficient than wood homes, especially in Florida's hot, humid, sun baked climate. That's because the mass factor of block acts as a reservoir to trap and store heat from the sun, so that interiors stay cooler longer. The Florida Energy Code recognizes the value of mass by requiring much less insulation for block walls than for wood frame walls. Another point: concrete block walls, which are more airtight than wood frame walls, seal in air conditioned air far better, while keeping out hot, humid air. Durability Concrete is one of the most durable materials on Earth. Here in Florida, concrete block is unquestionably the most practical home building material. There's no rotting or wall warping. No extensive maintenance or upkeep requirements. Your home retains it curb appeal and its value, beautifully.
