The art of masonry originated when early man sought to supplement his valuable but rare natural caves with artificial caves made from piles of stone.

With the advent of Gothic forms, masonry construction in a historic sense had solved the problem of spanning space entirely by material in compression, the only design formula suitable to stone. .

Many architects value masonry for its color, scale, texture, pattern, and look of permanence. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, masonry has a number of other desirable properties, such as its value in controlling sound, resisting fire, and insulating against daily fluctuations in temperature.

The fire protection benefits of concrete masonry are recognized by the Fire Service and the insurance industry. The extra ability to resist fire comes from the type of aggregate used, and the equivalent solid thickness of the masonry units.

Masonry construction provides solidity, permanence and a real sense of substance. Concrete masonry is an ideal sound barrier; providing reduced sound transmission relative to the size of the wall.

One of the most unusual advantages of concrete masonry is the cost savings; derived from its capacity to store energy and to delay the passage of heat.

This unique feature, known as the ‘thermal mass effect’, allows masonry buildings to be designed with less additional insulation. Hence; material costs and energy consumption can be reduced, and the comfort of living space is improved.
