Description

Bond beam CMU blocks are concrete masonry units that are designed to provide additional strength and reinforcement to concrete masonry walls. They are typically used at the top of concrete masonry walls, but they can also be used at other locations, such as around openings or at the base of walls. They have a hollow core, which can be filled with concrete or grout to provide additional strength. Bond beam CMU blocks are available in a variety of colors and finishes, including smooth, textured, and split face.
