Smooth Concrete Block
Basalite Precision Concrete Masonry Units are the most common, and perhaps most versatile, of all Concrete Masonry Units. Texture is an “as molded” finish, produced by vibration during manufacture. Choice of bond pattern or mortar joint finish can subtly alter a wall’s appearance, and various block sizes and colors can be combined for a more dramatic wall pattern. Basalite Precision Concrete Masonry Units are available in the widest selection of types and sizes.
