The Q Block
Program
certification of the highest quality concrete block
The concrete block industry has instituted a national quality control program, designed to provide the architect, designer, builder and owner with maximum assurance of product quality. It is called the Q BLOCK® program.
The registered hallmark "Q BLOCK" identifies concrete block which is manufactured to Q BLOCK specifications. These specifications, established by the National Concrete Masonry Association, reflect all the high standards that modern research, technical development and testing facilities can provide. To assure that these high standards are maintained, concrete block manufactured by participants in the Q BLOCK program must be tested at regular intervals. Following each test, the manufacturer is issued a certificate by the National Concrete Masonry Association indicating he is a qualified Q BLOCK producer.
Now, with this established national quality control program, you have complete confidence that the concrete block you specify by the Q BLOCK name has structural integrity second to none.
The Q BLOCK program puts concrete block in a most enviable position, offering the building industry not only the most versatile, attractive, fire-safe, sound absorbing, care-free product on the modern day market... but a building material with a proven reputation for high quality.
Members of the national Q BLOCK program are identified by this registered mark. Look for it whenever you specify concrete block.
