EarthBlock is a high performance, sustainable, regenerative building material, well suited in regions where annual tropical storms, hurricanes and high temperatures dominate more than half the year.
EarthBlock outperforms traditional cement block (CMU), polystyrene building, and wood products in strength and durability, heat and cold transfer, humidity control, building maintenance, energy use, and ecology.
EarthBlock can be used with any type of architectural vernacular or style. EarthBlock works seamlessly with current building practices and do not require any special tooling or extensive training. EarthBlock assembly is faster and more effective than current types of building methods. Less structural steel and cement are required in EarthBlock buildings.
EarthBlock is available with holes in a 6 inch width with with a variable height between 2 and 4 inches

Breathable Walls
EarthBlock walls are breathable and ensure improved indoor air quality, superior longevity, better thermal storage qualities, higher R values, improved fire safety, less moisture buildup and superior resistance to mold and mildew. Cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Evaporative Cooling
EarthBlock functions according to a basic principle called ‘evaporative cooling’ where the evaporation of water (humidity) from a surface removes heat, creating a cooling effect. Evaporative cooling improves indoor air temperature and human comfort levels by providing a natural passive humidifier and dehumidifier. Helping you be healthier and feeling better all year-round.
EarthBlock is stronger than CMUs or polystyrene. Their superior structural strength requires less steel and cement than typical buildings yet they remain strong enough to withstand earthquakes and even Category 4-5 hurricanes (if properly designed and built).
EarthBlock is fireproof, waterproof, insect-proof, virtually soundproof, and even bullet proof. Each block is also structural. All these factors make EarthBlock the preferred material for building in most environments.
EarthBlock can be used with any type of architectural vernacular or style. EarthBlock works seamlessly with current building practices and do not require any special tooling or extensive training. EarthBlock assembly is faster and more effective than current types of building methods.
EarthBlock integrates and optimizes all major high-performance attributes, including energy efficiency, durability, life-cycle performance, occupant productivity and livability.
EarthBlock is a modern adobe with exceptional natural qualities. However, unlike a traditional adobe, it has features and benefits which include being waterproof, mold proof, fireproof, bug proof, virtually sound proof, and even bullet proof up to a 50 cal.
EarthBlock is composed of dry inorganic subsoil, non-expansive clay, aggregates, and a natural stabilizer, compressed under high pressure to form extremely strong, structural, and durable building blocks.
EarthBlock integrates and optimizes all major high-performance attributes, including energy efficiency, durability, life-cycle performance, occupant productivity and livability.
Anteros EarthBlock formulas use the most widely available, abundant, ecologically sustainable building materials on Earth. EarthBlock has the lowest embodied energy of any modern, scalable, construction material.
Anteros EarthBlocks are 100% biodegradable, non-toxic and will reintegrate into the earth from where they came. In this context, EarthBlock can be considered a cradle-to-cradle product.
EarthBlock walls offer special features that traditional materials such as cement, polystyrene and wood do not. They include “EVAPORATIVE COOLING, “HIGH THERMAL MASS” and “PHASE CHANGE” capability, all passive systems harvesting and regenerating nature and energy. Characteristics that other materials cannot duplicate.
Anteros EarthBlock is the largest, most experienced, and most expert manufacturer of stabilized compressed earth blocks (SCEB’s) in Mexico. We have 0ver 30 + proof of concept projects in the BCS region and have manufactured over a million units of SCEB.
EarthBlock outperforms concrete block in heat transfer, humidity control, energy savings and strength.
EarthBlocks help regulate heat, cold indoor temperatures, and humidity, saving you on electricity and building life-cycle costs, making you comfortable year-round.
Not just for houses; EarthBlock can be used for perimeter walls, patios and more.
EarthBlock is 600 × more thermally efficient than cement
Polystyrene
The production of Styrofoam is energy intensive, creating large amounts of greenhouse gasses. Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) or Styrofoam, is a petroleum-based non-biodegradable foam, and is a known human carcinogen. Polystyrene has serious impacts upon human health, wildlife, aquatic environment, and the economy. Polystyrene has almost zero structural value, it requires lots of cement and steel to hold it up.
Cement
The production of cement is energy intensive. It is one of the highest industrial polluters on the planet. It is responsible for 8% of annual Co2 emissions. Just 20 sacks/bags of cement have a carbon dioxide footprint that can be expressed as a carbon cube, measuring 8.2 meters long, 8.2 meters, wide and 8.2 meters tall. (27 ft long x 27 ft wide x 27 ft tall).
EarthBlock
Carbon Smart, lowest embodied energy of any structural scalable building material. EarthBlock formulas use the most widely available, ecologically sustainable building materials on Earth and are 100% recyclable and non-toxic. Our material requires less natural resources such as water and reduces energy demand required in building use.
