Description
Description

A chamfered sill CMU block is a concrete masonry unit that has been cut at an angle on the front edge. This gives the block a chamfered or beveled appearance, which can be used to create a more aesthetically pleasing finish on a concrete masonry wall. Chamfered sill CMU blocks are typically used at the top and bottom of concrete masonry walls, as well as around door and window openings. They can also be used to create decorative features, such as pilasters or corbels.
