Experience the epitome of architectural refinement with our exceptional Polished Face Architectural Block. In this Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU), the spotlight is firmly on the “polished face,” exemplifying the pinnacle of premium quality and aesthetics.
Our Polished Face Block units are not only integrally colored but also meticulously crafted. By removing a thin layer of material from the surface, we unveil the vivid beauty of colorful aggregates beneath, a process further perfected with the use of diamond polishing pads, creating a permanent, dazzling shine.
This remarkable product is a versatile choice for various building types, including corporate, educational, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, multi-family, municipal, and retail projects, elevating the visual appeal and sophistication of your designs. Visit our projects page to view real-life application.
Moreover, our Polished Face Block doesn’t compromise on strength or durability. It meets rigorous ASTM C90 specifications, guaranteeing structural integrity. Additionally, it features integral water repellent (IWR) technology, providing robust protection against moisture and environmental elements.
Choose our Polished Face Block to infuse your projects with enduring elegance, a dazzling shine, and the assurance of meeting structural requirements, while enjoying the freedom to customize to your heart’s desire.
