Split Face CMU, also known as Rock Faced CMU, features a hand-chiseled appearance that adds a rich, textured look to any wall design. These architectural units are available in a wide range of colors, including the classic standard grey.
The irregular, abrasive surface of Split-Face units requires specialized handling to ensure crew safety and material integrity. We utilize advanced scaffolding and hoisting protocols designed for the increased weight and texture of these architectural units. By maintaining a clean and disciplined job site, we ensure that the masonry is installed efficiently without compromising the finish or safety standards.
Installing Split-Face CMU requires an expert eye for "cleanliness." Because of the deep textures, mortar smears can be difficult to remove if not managed immediately. Our masons are trained in precision-tooling and "clean-build" techniques, ensuring that the mortar joints remain crisp and consistent, allowing the natural rock-like texture of the block to remain the focal point of the elevation.
The textured surface of Rock-Faced CMU provides more surface area for potential water absorption. We address this through the rigorous application of integral water repellents and high-performance post-installation sealants. Our technical focus on flashing, weep systems, and vapor barriers ensures that your building remains watertight and free from efflorescence, protecting the structural core for decades.
Our top priority is customer satisfaction and we work closely with clients to understand their unique needs and goals.
We specialize in executing high-end architectural designs that require strict adherence to specifications. From intricate stone patterns to perfectly aligned commercial veneers, our team ensures every element of the masonry is visually stunning and structurally sound.
