Product Information Sheet

General: The Jacobsville Designer Series was developed as a substitute for the sandstone found near Jacobsville which was a popular construction material that was quarried from Michigan's Copper Country. After years of testing, Superior Block has been able to consistently match the Jacobsville sandstone's soft red tones and has developed a product line that includes a variety of shapes and sizes in both full and half high configurations. The ability to manufacture this product in so many shapes and sizes had made the product user friendly with architects, builders, developers and owners. The Jacobsville Designer Series’ physical performance, availability and inexpensive cost have made it a valued alternative in the marketplace.

Physical Performance: The Jacobsville Designer Series exceeds the requirements of ASTM-C90 for strength and absorption. Only the best liquid color pigments are used in the manufacture of this product. The soft-red tones are achieved by the accurate blending of pigments and the selection of blended aggregates that are unique to the Copper Country. BlockStone TM, RockStone TM and RedStone TM are made with an integral water resistant polymer during the manufacturing process. Dry-Block resists water penetration. This system for water repellency requires excellent workmanship and design details. A surface sealer is recommended for all types of architectural masonry including the Designer Series.

Availability: The Jacobsville Designer Series can normally be delivered within four to six weeks from date of order. This response time is the exception in the construction industry where order times for materials can often result in months of delay.
