A Trusted Brand

Durisol is the proprietary name of our durable, lightweight precast concrete material. Composed of natural and recycled material, it is a more sustainable alternative to standard concrete. Made of chemically neutralized and mineralized organic softwood shavings which are specially processed to an acoustically engineered size. When bonded together under pressure with Portland cement, an absorptive panel is born.
