ARCHITECTURAL CMUs
Today, concrete masonry units are used not only in the traditional area of the building envelope, but in the interior and the entry in the form of retaining walls and pavers. Ideal for designing dynamic, high-impact buildings, masonry units provide the ability to combine colors, textures, and shapes in order to blend in with an existing environment or boldly make a new statement. Low maintenance and weather resistance allow masonry to outperform other materials during the lifetime of your building, and the colorfastness of the units means that masonry never needs to be repainted or refinished and will continue to look as good as the day it was installed for years and years. With the additional benefits of fire resistance and the ability to absorb sound, concrete masonry units have become the product of choice for any project which involves the safety and comfort of large groups of people. |
