Architectural Block
Brampton Brick’s Architectural split-face blocks offer resourceful solutions for industrial, commercial, and institutional building projects. The units are available in split-face 2 to 6-rib styles, split ledge, and split-face corner styles in a wide array of depths.
The compressive strength of this block makes it suitable for use in load-bearing or single wythe masonry walls, while RainBloc integral water repellent additive makes it resistant to moisture penetration and wind driven rain.
