We passed the test with excellent results, showing no damage or deformation on the non-impacted (interior) side of the wall and minimal damage on the impacted side. This demonstrates that BuildBlock Wall Systems provide outstanding protection, even in EF5 wind events. 

For this testing, we adopted a “worst-case scenario” approach, using minimal steel reinforcement and concrete compressive strength in our 6” core wall system. The impact force was over 13,000 pounds per square foot, which our 6” wall system effectively withstood, requiring only minor repairs like patching stucco or replacing siding boards.
