Architectural CMU – Ground Face
Jandris Ground Face CMU are extremely durable, fire and mold resistant, and energy efficient due to high thermal mass. The characteristics of our locally sourced natural aggregates give Jandris Ground Face Blocks a unique and appealing aesthetic. The smooth ground face finish of these units works well in structures where a maintenance-free wall system is desired.
