Polished CMU Series

Architectural CMU – Polished CMU Series

Jandris Polished CMU Series are processed through several stages of vigorous polishing to retrieve a gloss finish similar to that of polished granite or marble. The natural beauty of local aggregates is exposed, to produce this distinctive line of CMU’s. The finish of these reflective CMU’s works well in structures where a load bearing maintenance free wall system or façade is desired.

Jandris Polished and Weathered Polished Block sample kits are now available. Please contact us for more information.
