ABSTRACT:
The disclosed concrete masonry blocks are used as part of an interior wall by mounting the blocks between the studs and wall board. The concrete masonry blocks provide thermal storage capabilities. Preferred configurations of blocks are provided whereby electrical junction boxes, cables, etc., may installed within the stud wall frame end and wallboard. The blocks are preferably provided with normal thickness portions and reduced thickness ends with the latter defining a recess with the normal thickness portion enabling mounting of electrical junction boxes to a stud adjacent the block. In a preferred configuration, grooves formed within the reduced thickness portion adjacent the normal thickness portion of the block act as a score line enabling fracture of a part of the reduced thickness portion by application of external force thereto to enable a pair of electrical junction boxes to be mounted elevationally adjacent each other to a stud. To absorb high frequency sound and energy, a further improvement contemplates the use of caulking material disposed as a substantially continuous bead between adjacent rows of concrete block.
