Description

Bond beam knockout CMU blocks are concrete masonry units that have been designed to allow for the installation of steel reinforcement. The knockouts are typically located in the top of the block, and they can be used to create a continuous bond beam that runs the length of the wall. Bond beam knockout CMU blocks are typically used in foundation applications, but they can also be used in other applications where additional structural support is needed, such as around swimming pools or patio areas.
