Block and Masonry
Block & Masonry Solutions
Built to Last. Designed to Perform.
Concrete Masonry Units (CMUs), commonly known as concrete block, remain one of the most reliable, cost-effective, and versatile construction materials available today. At Chaney Enterprises, we supply high-quality CMUs that deliver outstanding performance across commercial, institutional, and residential projects alike.
Whether you’re building a school, public facility, commercial structure, or a masonry home, concrete block construction offers long-term value, aesthetic flexibility, and unmatched durability.
Why Choose Concrete Masonry?
Versatility
Available in a wide range of sizes, shapes, colors, and textures, concrete block can serve as a structural wall system or a decorative veneer. From curved walls to radius features, CMUs empower architects and builders with endless design possibilities.
Durability & Low Maintenance
Concrete block structures are built to withstand the test of time. Resistant to fading, peeling, and damage from pests or moisture, these units require minimal maintenance throughout their lifecycle.
Energy Efficiency
With excellent thermal mass properties, CMUs absorb and retain heat longer than other materials—keeping structures cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, reducing overall energy consumption.
Fire Resistance
CMUs are non-combustible and provide superior fire ratings compared to traditional materials. Reinforced concrete block assemblies help limit the spread of fire and meet stringent code requirements with ease.
Sound Control
Thanks to their mass and density, concrete block walls naturally reduce sound transmission—ideal for high-occupancy spaces like schools, multifamily housing, and office buildings.
Storm & Seismic Resilience
Reinforced concrete block buildings perform exceptionally well in extreme weather, including hurricanes, high winds, and earthquakes. Their structural integrity often exceeds that of wood-framed buildings.
Cost-Effective
When comparing total building costs, including long-term maintenance and energy savings, concrete masonry systems often deliver a lower life-cycle cost than alternative construction methods.

Concrete Masonry for Homes
Masonry homes combine timeless beauty with structural strength. Choosing CMU construction for your home delivers:
✔️Superior fire resistance
✔️Protection from hurricanes, tornadoes & wind-driven debris
✔️Termite- and rot-proof construction
✔️Exceptional sound insulation for quieter living
✔️Design flexibility with finishes like stucco, split face, architectural block, stone veneer, and brick
Masonry homes don’t just perform—they impress. With a wide range of textures and finishes, you can achieve the look you love without compromising safety or durability.
Concrete Masonry for Commercial Construction
Durability. Safety. Design Flexibility.
Concrete masonry is a smart, reliable choice for commercial construction. Whether you’re building schools, offices, retail spaces, or public facilities, CMUs offer long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
With built-in fire resistance, sound insulation, and protection from wind and moisture, concrete block structures meet demanding safety and code requirements. Their thermal mass also improves energy efficiency—reducing heating and cooling costs over time.
Available in a variety of shapes, colors, and finishes, concrete block allows for both structural and aesthetic versatility in any commercial project.
