Because each Insulock Block weighs just two pounds, full truckload (53' trailer) shipments of the product weigh just 5,200 pounds - resulting in less transportation related GHG emissions. Each full truckload of Insulock Block creates 3,755 SF of wall construction - compared to approximately 1,108 SF of wall construction for each full truckload (weighing 44,000 lbs.) of CMU block. On average, each truckload of Insulock Block yields approximately 3.4 times more square feet of wall area compared to each truckload of conventional CMU block - offering a greater than 3x reduction in GHG emissions associated with transportation to job sites.
