What Is Angelus Block and What Does the Company Offer?
Updated
Angelus Block Co., Inc. is a manufacturer of concrete masonry units (CMU), architectural pavers, and E-Z Mix mortars, serving architects, engineers, and contractors (AEC professionals). The company positions itself around sustainable concrete masonry, with its CarbonKind low-carbon CMU line and published Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) as central offerings. If your project involves concrete block walls, insulated masonry, or architectural paving—and especially if you need to document embodied carbon—Angelus Block is relevant to evaluate.
Core Product Lines
CarbonKind Low-Carbon CMU
CarbonKind is Angelus Block's low-carbon concrete masonry line. According to the company, its 2025 CMU EPDs "lead the industry in GWP reductions," with lower Global Warming Potential than any competing CMU line currently on the market. Published EPDs are available for review, which matters if your project requires verified environmental documentation for green building certifications or carbon accounting.
Omni Block Insulated CMU
Omni Block is an insulated concrete masonry system. It appears alongside CarbonKind as a featured product category, aimed at projects where thermal performance is a priority in addition to structural function.
Mortars and Pavers
Beyond block, the company manufactures E-Z Mix mortars and architectural pavers, covering the broader masonry assembly rather than just the block itself.
Tools and Resources for AEC Professionals
Angelus Block provides design and specification support, including:
- BIM tools — Revit applications, BIM assets, and 3D models. A 3D Unit Library is available, letting users generate and download SketchUp and ACAD unit models.
- AEC resources — Samples, continuing education (CE) materials, specifications, guides, and SKM materials.
- Sustainability and resilience documentation — Product relevance to green and resilient building goals, including published EPDs.
- Colors and textures — Availability organized by product type.

How to Decide If It Fits Your Project
| If your need is… | Relevant offering |
|---|---|
| Lowest possible embodied carbon in CMU | CarbonKind low-carbon CMU with published EPDs |
| Insulated masonry walls | Omni Block insulated CMU |
| Complete masonry assembly | E-Z Mix mortars, plus block |
| Architectural hardscape | Architectural pavers |
| BIM/Revit or SketchUp modeling | BIM tools and 3D Unit Library |
| Specs, samples, or CE credit | AEC resources and Download Center |
A practical first step is to pull the published EPDs if carbon performance is a deciding factor, and to check the Download Center for specifications and BIM assets before committing to a product line. For color and texture selection, confirm availability against the specific product type you intend to specify, since options vary by line.
