About Astra-Glaze-SW+® Glazed Masonry Units

About Astra-Glaze-SW+® Glazed Masonry Units

Echelon’s ASTRA-GLAZE-SW+® glazed block units are pre-faced architectural concrete glazed masonry blocks with a thermoset glazing compound permanently molded to one or more faces. This glazing compound is cured and heat-treated in gas-fired tunnel kilns — thus becoming an integral part of the masonry unit rather than a post-applied face shell. Additionally, ASTRA-GLAZE-SW+ glazed CMU blocks are cast in individual molds, ensuring dimensional uniformity of the glazed facing regardless of minor variations in the block to deliver the ultimate in aesthetic uniformity and seamless installation.

 

What are Glazed CMUs?

A glazed CMU, or prefaced, concrete masonry unit (CMU) is a prefabricated concrete block with a permanent colored facing bonded to the side. These smooth surfaces are usually composed of polyester resins, silica sand, and various other chemicals, and are highly resistant to water and chemicals.
