CalStar Products added a Thru-Wall unit to its line of sustainably manufactured masonry. The unit’s design combines the structural properties of standard concrete with the aesthetics of a traditional brick wall. Available in nominal sizes of 8-by-4-by-16 inches and 12-by-4-by-16 inches, the units are half as tall as standard concrete blocks and are dual-sided to feature both a flat face for a classic 16-inch appearance and a notched face to fill with mortar for the look of 8-inch bricks.

Trenwyth’s Versatone Plus is a recycled filled and polished concrete masonry unit that is designed to provide a smooth terrazzo look for building installations. Each unit is manufactured with a moisture-resistant admixture that prevents mold and efflorescence.

The product is grinded to expose the variegated coloring of the natural aggregates before the pores and interstices are filled with cementitious grout.
