Common Challenges That Ground Face Block Resolve

Your building construction requires the height of precision, which is why Nitterhouse ground face concrete masonry units (CMU) are produced with the highest quality materials and made with extreme attention to making every ground face block uniform for use in your projects. Choosing ground face CMU block can help resolve the following challenges with construction materials:

1. Moisture: The slow creep of moisture into construction materials can lead to mildew, mold and rot. Our concrete masonry units offer excellent resistance to moisture.
2. Insulation: Concrete masonry units form a tight seal, which prevents heated and cooled air from escaping and also keeps the outside air from penetrating.
3. Combustibility: Fire is a big concern, so you must choose a material that provides superb fire protection. Our ground face block is non-combustible.
4. Soundproofing: Noise pollution can be a significant challenge to overcome. Our CMUs have exceptional soundproofing properties that help with noise reduction and maximize acoustic performance as well.
5. Installation time: Long, complex installation times can cause cost overruns. Using ground face concrete block ensures a fast installation that saves time and reduces the likelihood of cost overruns.

Benefits of Our Ground Face CMU Finish

Ground face CMU are ground on their face to create a distinctive, rich finish that gives them a unique, natural beauty. Besides the attractiveness of these units, they offer a great advantage in construction as they are maintenance-free. There is no need to recoat or repaint these units — they look perfect just as they are.

CMU is one of the most versatile materials used in building construction today. It’s compatible with just about any structure that can benefit from a smooth, sleek appearance. Construction projects that have used our ground face architectural blocks include office buildings, fire stations, office buildings and schools.

Specific ways to implement a ground face finish include adding decorative accent bands to the design of interior or exterior facades, creating a more uniform appeal for the structure’s design.
