CONCRETE MASONRY UNITS
   
STANDARD UNITS have a smooth finish acceptable for painting. These units are used in a wide range of applications. They provide strength, durability, fire resistance, sound proofing, energy efficiency and affordability.
   
SPLIT-FACE UNITS have an attractive natural rough stone appearance produced by molding two units together, then splitting them apart after curing. These units are available in a variety of rich pastel colors.
   
BURNISHED MASONRY UNITS are ground (polished) after manufacture to obtain a smooth finish and to reveal the natural aggregates inside the unit. Various colors and unique aggregates are combined to achieve a wide color selection.
   
SCORED MASONRY UNITS are manufactured with one or more vertical scores on the face to simulate additional mortar joints in the wall. Scored units reduce the perceived size of the masonry while still allowing construction using standard size units. (Available on Split-Face or Burnished units)
   
RIBBED FLUTED MASONRY UNITS offer a unique "ribbed" variation to Split Faced units. These units are offered in 4-Rib Fluted, 6-Rib Fluted, and 8-Rib Fluted styles. They offer a bold distinct accent when combined with other types of custom masonry.
   
Custom Concrete Masonry Units continue to be the preferred building material of many architects today because they offer low maintenance, durability, fire-resistance, sound proofing, and affordability.

NOVABRIK
Novabrik is a patented mortarless brick siding system. The high strength concrete bricks overlap and interlock to create a strong, water resistant brick veneer.

Novabrik can be installed on wood studs, steel studs and concrete structures. Application on innovative building systems like Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) systems and steel buildings is very easy and cost effective. Because the bricks hang on the wall, no brick ledge or steel support is necessary for support. This self-supporting property makes Novabrik a perfect product for remodeling homes with vinyl or aluminum siding.

It is used in residential construction, for new homes and remodeling, and in commercial construction as well, in large or small projects.

All the inconveniences of mortar have been eliminated. Novabrik can be installed in freezing temperatures without the additional costs usually incurred in winter with conventional masonry installation. There is no variation in the mortar joint color or thickness and no height limitation for installation in a single day. There is no mortar joint to maintain over the life of the building.

Because Novabrik can be installed by workers without masonry skills, the installed cost of the mortarless brick system is less than that of conventional brick walls. In fact, most homeowners with some basic construction skills can install Novabrik themselves.
