Masonry-Framed Residence

This residential project in Raleigh, North Carolina was constructed using concrete masonry units manufactured with Stalite Lightweight Aggregate as part of a masonry-framed structural system. Lightweight masonry helped reduce structural dead load while maintaining the strength, durability, and fire resistance associated with concrete masonry construction.

Masonry-framed homes provide long-term resilience against weather, pests, and fire while offering improved sound insulation and energy efficiency compared with traditional wood-frame construction.
