Refined Splitface Masonry Units Offer Advantages for Commercial, Industrial, Institutional, and Residential Buildings

Dec 12, 2022

Splitface masonry units are the preferred building material of many architects for their versatility and practicality.

Available in dozens of integral color blends and finishes, concrete masonry can complement any design aesthetic. Splitface, Fullface Split, and Rockface Block are available in load-bearing, full veneer units, and thin veneer units in a wide variety of configurations and sizes that can be used individually or in combination. The load-bearing units offer structural strength to support multistory structures. If specified, the cavities in the concrete blocks can also accommodate vertical steel reinforcement for enhanced structural integrity. Concrete veneer units are nonstructural and provide a decorative and highly durable exterior wall finish that is securely attached to the wall.

Splitface masonry units resemble chiseled stone, lending a refined beauty and sense of permanence to buildings and structures. The rugged, randomly textured face also enhances the visual interest of building façades, with the shadows and highlights shifting subtly as the light changes throughout the day.

For a more formal appearance, Spliftface and Rockface block can be manufactured with square, round, or V-shaped scores to simulate mortar joints and reduce the perceived scale of the building. The units can also be manufactured with 2, 4, 6, or 8 vertical split ribbed sections for added depth and dimension.

Concrete masonry construction is compatible with all roofing systems and requires minimal maintenance, making it ideal for commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential applications.
