Insulation inserts that are changing the face of concrete masonry wall systems.
Until now, if you wanted insulated concrete masonry units (CMU's), you had to accept standard size blocks. But not any longer. Shelter Enterprises' Omnicore™ insulation inserts adapt to both rectangular and pear-shaped cores and can be cut and factory-installed in any standard or architectural CMU.
OmniCore™ are compressible block insulation inserts that are made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) and engineered to fit into the cores of concrete masonry units (CMUs). Any CMU. Because unlike other manufacturers' inserts, OmniCore™ inserts are cut, not molded, and so are available in both standard and architectural blocks.
OmniCore™ inserts, which are available factory-installed in your block of choice, are cost-efficient with a lower cost per unit than other insulated blocks. Because of ease of installation, you'll also reduce time and costs on the job. Blocks with OmniCore inserts eliminate jobsite labor and the waste and clean-up inherent in other insulation methods. You'll also gain more control over the job with the assurance that insulation inserts are properly installed to give the maximum thermal protection.
OmniCore's™ thermal efficiencies are among the best in the industry, giving you the advantages of high thermal efficiency without the disadvantages of potential condesation. OmniCore™ maintains a clear air space within the block cores, allowing for moisture to be routed out by flashing and weeps. With OmniCore™ insulated CMUs, you'll build an energy-efficient, long-lasting, no-maintenance wall - in all sizes and shapes of block.
