Architectural CMU

Lorem Ipsum

Concrete Masonry Units

Architectural Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) are the core building material of masonry structures. They are typically used to describe units displaying any one of several surface finishes that affect the texture of the unit, allowing the structural wall and finished surfaces to be installed in a single step. The appearance of the wall can be varied with the unit size and shape, color of the units and mortar, bond pattern, and surface finish.

The architectural concrete masonry finishes we carry at Yavapai Block are Split Face and Smooth Face. Architectural units comply with the same quality standards as conventional concrete masonry. Since 1966, Yavapai Block Company has been producing concrete block with unmatched quality, consistency, and design. All of Yavapai Block Company’s concrete blocks are manufactured locally at our production facility in Prescott, Arizona.
