Description
Description

A squared sill CMU block is a concrete masonry unit that has a squared platform on one end and a sloping angle on the other end. This allows the block to be used to create a header for a concrete masonry wall that slopes away from the building. Squared sill CMU blocks are typically used in header applications, but they can also be used in other applications where drainage is important, such as around swimming pools or patio areas.
