Quality Assurance
Constantly Working To Improve Our Quality
Designers and builders are demanding consistency in the quality of materials they use to construct buildings, retaining walls, stone cladding, paving stone projects, and other systems that use concrete masonry.
Consistent manufacturing is enhanced with comprehensive quality assurance testing that includes third party compliance of the product.
Why Use GreenShield Concrete by Newtonbrook Block?
Newtonbrook uses the waste from the glass recycling process, reducing the cement proportion and resulting in a reduction of CO2 emissions being released into the atmosphere, using this glass as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM).
PREVENTS OVER ONE MILLION Pounds of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere per year
PROTECTS OUR NATURAL RESOURCES
Consumer glass waste has now been turned into something valuable - a replacement for aggregate
PROMOTES HEALTHY LIVING Cleaner air to breathe with less CO2

IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO
The first step in becoming “Green” was to convert to a radiant heat curing system.
Secondly, we looked at ways to reduce or replace the use of virgin material (example: limestone, sand).
We then reduced the use of Portland cement, resulting in a CO2 reduction.
Lastly, we introduced the GreenShield and GreenShield Plus+ technology.
Buying green products is the right thing to do for the planet. Buying GreenShield Concrete Technologies gives Architects, Builder Developers, Spec Writers and Contractors what they’ve been looking for: More LEED points on every project. And with today’s younger, more informed buyer, environmentally friendly products are top on their list of purchases.
