Ground Face Units |
|
|
| Premier Line™ Ground Face
Units are lightweight to normal weight concrete masonry
units with faces ground and polished to expose carefully
selected aggregates in a unique and exciting way. Texture
and aggregate exposure varies from one color selection
to another, providing the designer with unmatched quality
reminiscent of polished marble, granite or terrazzo. |
|
All ground face units receive
a heat-treated factory applied coating of acrylic
which contributes to the wall's high performance
when exposed to weather and stains.
A large inventory of molds, specialized
equipment and experienced people provide the designer
with a wide selection of specialized shapes. A
fully staffed and experienced laboratory team
provides the designer with the option of custom
colors.
It is our business, and our pleasure,
to work with designers to provide the shapes and
the colors that their creative design concept
requires. Let us work with you on that concept.
