Overview -Types of Concrete Masonry Blocks:
CMU- come in smooth, split-face, center score, shot-blast, ground-face, polished, fluted & raked finishes.
Slump- (rounded edge) come in standard, shot blast & HMU finish.
Fence Block -(Tongue / Groove) come in smooth & split-face.
Retaining Wall- come in split-face & textured.
CMU's are the workhorse in the masonry building field. As such, there is a wide variety of sizes, textures, aggregates and colors available. All standard sizes in CMU's are nominal- Actual of a 4" is 3 5/8", 6" is 5 5/8", 8" is 15 5/8" and 16" is 15 5/8". Difference between actual and nominal is a standard thickness mortar joint. Sizes go by width x height x length.

Standard Items
Items referred to as standard or stock units and/or colors are normally available, meaning such units are subject to occasional fluctuations in inventory levels which may affect availability from time to time. Not all standard items are stocked at every location; some units are only available at our Valencia plants. Status of a unit or color as a standard item is subject to change without notice.
Special Order Items
Certain configurations or colors are available only on a special order basis. Such units are typically identified as "special order only", but such listings are subject to change; please verify with the main office.
Though the variety of configurations and colors available by special order offer tremendous design variety, manufacturing and scheduling constraints may impose limitations. Special orders pricing is affected by quantities of each configuration. Mold change charges will apply if small special shapes / colors . (A mold change charge defrays a portion of the cost of mold set-ups and machine down-time while molds are changed for special order configurations and/or the material batching/handling system is cleaned of special order color.)
Whenever a special order unit is required, the construction (and contract) schedule must reflect sufficient lead time for ordering, manufacture, and cure. Although CABCO will make every effort to minimize the effects of insufficient lead time, job schedules may be adversely affected, or, readily available units may have to be substituted.
