Split Faced Textured Blocks for Architectural Design
Split faced textured blocks are also known as ‘concrete masonry units’. They are similar to other kinds of concrete block in that they are reliable for a wide variety of construction applications but they also add a much more visually attractive appearance.
Thanks to their attractive surfaces they are often used in design applications and the building of structures where beautiful architectural work is a main feature.
Split faced concrete blocks have a heavily textured surface and this gives them a uniquely individual appearance. They are manufactured by machine-cast, reconstituted stone blocks which are then individually split. This is done to create a surface that resembles a hand-hewn stone affect. This is the element that makes split faced concrete blocks so desirable in carefully designed structures particularly domestic homes and modern commercial buildings where stylish atmosphere is a main aim.
Split faced walling concrete blocks have an irregular texturing allowing more warmth and variation to be communicated in the design of buildings making them a firm favourite with designers. They are manufactured in a wide variety of colours and are ideal to create a rustic stone appearance or a modern clean finish. Other finishes can be added to split faced concrete blocks to give them specific features such as repelling water or preventing erosion via sun exposure.
