Independently Tested
The innovative Anchor HeadLok System™ Masonry Units have been independently
tested and found to be a worthy alternative to the traditional masonry foundation
blocks.
“The test results indicate the 8 in x 8 in x 24 in Anchor HeadLok System™ block
performed better in deflection under lateral load than common 8 in x 8 in x 16
in concrete masonry units. This load condition is typical to a soil backfill against
a basement wall.” — Daniel M. Vruno, P.E. Senior Concrete Engineer, American
Engineering testing, Inc., Issue Date June 24, 2005
