Rustic Face

Shot Blasted CMU

The texture on the face of this block is generated by blasting small pellets at the surface of the unit. This process delivers a time-worn, weathered appearance that lends a building an easy-living “coastal” feel.

Ground Face CMU

Gemstone®

The natural aggregates in our Gemstone® units are brought forth by grinding the face of the unit to a smooth “burnished” finish. A light coat of sealer is then applied to give it added sheen, and to help protect the block during delivery and installation. This also aids in the resistance of natural elements that can affect the surface. Gemstone units are used in both internal and external building applications.

The Legend...

Split Face

Split face is consistently the most popular architectural masonry unit finish because it offers a uniquely textured face, and can be manufactured as a paint-grade product or in a variety of attractive colors. Because of the manufacturing process of a split face block, no two units are exactly alike, which offers aesthetic depth to building design.
