Why OmniBlock Homes Are a Smart Choice for Utah Families

Why OmniBlock Homes Are a Smart Choice for Utah Families

At Authentic Homes, we design and build with OmniBlock because it delivers superior comfort, durability, fire resistance, pest resistance, and energy savings.

What Is OmniBlock?

OmniBlock is a patented insulated concrete masonry unit (CMU) that combines structural strength with built-in high-performance foam insulation. It creates a complete single-wythe wall system—no extra insulation, furring strips, or complex layers required.

Key Benefits of OmniBlock

  • Exceptional Energy Efficiency: High R-value plus thermal mass keeps homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer. 
  • Design Benefits: The block can be manufactured in many different colors and interior walls can be left natural for a high-end brick or a block look.
  • Unmatched Durability: 33% stronger than standard CMU. Resists fire (2.7-hour rating), wind, seismic forces, termites, mold, and Utah’s freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Superior Comfort: Stable indoor temperatures, minimal hot/cold spots, and excellent sound reduction for quieter living.
  • Sustainable: Uses low-embodied-energy materials and supports green building credits.
