This new Polished Series far exceeds the look, feel and finish of ground face architectural block. Headwaters Construction Materials uses superior colored aggregates and a new, state-of-the-art polishing machine, exposing and buffing the aggregates of the polished block concrete masonry unit, to achieve a hi-gloss finish, similar to that of polished granite or marble.Our newest finish—Textured Block—achieves a texture that exposes the depth of the natural aggregate, giving it a 3-D effect—something you’d have to feel to believe.All of our concrete masonry units are provided with integral water repellants, and can be manufactured with bullnose, chamfered edges, or vertical scoring, all while meeting ASTM C90 standards and LEED standards. Ground Face (burnished) masonry units, after being manufactured and cured, are ground (burnished) to a smooth finish, revealing the natural aggregates inside. Various colors and unique aggregates are combined to achieve some of the more interesting colors selections available in concrete masonry products.
