Gray Block

The term CMU (Concrete Masonry Unit) is commonly used within the specification and construction industry to refer to what is known to the public as a Concrete Block or Gray Block. It is not correct to refer to it as Cinder or Cement Block.

CMU's are utilized in residential, commercial, institutional and industrial construction. They are strong, durable and offer maximum design flexibility.

The CMU is manufactured locally usually within 100 miles of use, using materials found in state. In addition to its strength, the concrete masonry unit is valued for the fact that it is non-combustible and it won't rot or rust.
