Let’s begin with the foundation. Why not use the perfect material to start constructing your eco-friendly building? First of all, EF Block™ is a created by using recycled materials. These blocks are ideal in that they exceed all requirements for durability and increase both family safety and sustainability.
EF Block Provides Both Strength and Insulation
