Today you have to build energy efficient walls! I get them with Permalite Perlite Masonry Fill.
We've been masonry contractors since 1954 and members of M.C.A.A. since 1957. I started using Permalite Perlite Masonry Fill on the Easton (Pa.) General Hospital in 1961 and our most recent job with it is the new Bamberger's Lehigh Valley Shopping Mall.
We run a day's block up, 8 to 10 ft. high, then pour the next day. We just stand the bag up, put a hole near the bottom and let it run. I have never known perlite fill to settle. And we've never had a problem with moisture in the wall when we used Permalite Masonry Fill.
Most block fill jobs are specified, but we occasionally have the opportunity to recommend masonry fill if we believe an insulation problem may turn up later. I recommend Permalite Masonry Fill because the stuff works and because the local Permalite franchisee spots trailers on the job for us to work from.

Permalite Perlite Masonry Fill outperforms all other mineral fills!
Permalite Perlite Silicone-Treated Masonry Fill provides 20% better insulation than any other popular mineral-type loose fill-reducing heat transmission 54% or more and saving heating and cooling dollars that soon exceed its cost. It doubles two-hour fire-rated concrete masonry unit construction to four hours. And the inorganic perlite particles are coated with non-flammable silicone water repellent, making them five times more resistant to moisture than the next best mineral fill. Permalite Silicone-Treated Perlite Masonry Fill is manufactured from perlite ore mined by GREFCO, Inc., by licensed Permalite franchisees throughout the United States and Canada in conformance to Perlite Institute specifications.
