Concrete masonry units give a structure the performance and low maintenance a long-term project demands, along with the architectural detail to make that performance visible rather than hidden. Block-Lite stocks a full range of standard units and manufactures special order units to spec, built from mix designs that vary by weight classification, aggregate type and size, integral color, integral water repellent, and other admixtures. Units can be machined or processed into smooth, split face, ground face, shot blast, striated, flashed color, vertical score, fluted, bullnose, slump, tumbled, and other finishes.
Concrete masonry units (CMUs) are a versatile and practical choice for commercial building projects, offering a combination of structural strength, design flexibility, and aesthetic appeal. CMUs are available in a range of sizes, shapes, textures, and colors, allowing architects and designers to achieve their desired look and feel for the building.
Modular
CMU blocks are modular, making them easy to work with and allowing for efficient construction. Their uniform shape and size enable precise alignment and consistent construction, resulting in a durable and structurally sound building.
Flexible
CMUs can be used in combination with other building materials to create a unique and modern architectural design. They can be used for load-bearing walls, partitions, and facades, providing flexibility in design and construction.
Efficient
CMUs offer excellent thermal properties, contributing to energy efficiency in commercial buildings. They also provide sound insulation, creating a comfortable and quiet interior environment for occupants.
