Architectural Masonry
Once considered the utilitarian workhorse of building materials, concrete masonry has come into its own in recent years. Modern technological developments, combined with ideas from architects, have changed this material's once-bland face. A broad palette of style, shape, size, texture and colour options mean architects can now design with style and visual appeal in mind as well as serviceability.
While beautiful on its own, Smooth Architectural Concrete Block can also be used to create pleasing visual effects such as banding or accent features. When combined with Shaw's Split Ashlar Block or Blay Brick, The smooth surface offers distinctive contrasting textures. We can manufacture a variety of colours to complete your colour palette.
Our Split Fluted unit is scored seven times creating eight section to each block. These units can be used to create and interesting texture in a boarder or over an entire building for a very interesting effect.
Shaw Brick's Split Ledge block has a indented strip across the entire length of each block. This design can be used in a variety of applications.
As the name implies our Split Tri-Face block has three section per block. Use it for a boarder for Shaw's Split Ashlar Block or face the entire building with this block for a less typical look.
