An A-Block CMU is a concrete masonry unit that has a unique shape that resembles the letter "A". One end of the block is open, while the other end is closed. This shape allows the block to be used to create a variety of features in masonry walls, such as arches, columns, and pilasters. The open bottom of the block allows for the placement of reinforcing bars and grout, which help to strengthen the bond beam.
