Isobloc is an insulated masonry block that integrates the interior finish, insulation, and exterior finish into a single product, allowing the complete building envelope to be built in one step.

Isobloc is primarily used in commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings, for both new construction and expansions. It is particularly valued for its fast installation, outstanding durability, and great energy efficiency.

Yes. Since Isobloc combines multiple construction steps into one, it cuts construction time in half and reduces coordination between the different trades required for traditional wall assembly.

No. Both interior and exterior architectural concrete finishes are durable, impact-resistant, and maintenance-free.

Isobloc can be used in certain specific residential projects, but not all, for several reasons:

• Isobloc is offered in a single size of 8 in x 16 in, which limits certain design possibilities specific to single-family homes;

• The installation must be carried out by a mason, and residential projects often involve many cuts, making execution less optimal;

• The concrete interior finish is one of the advantages of the Isobloc system, while the majority of residential projects prefer a gypsum finish. It is possible to add this type of finish, but it requires an additional step.

We occasionally undertake targeted residential projects, particularly when energy performance, robustness, and long-term durability are priorities. However, Isobloc remains primarily a solution designed and optimized for commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings.
