Grey (Besser) Blocks
Grey blocks are available in a variety of sizes to suit most commercial, residential, & retaining wall applications. Widely regarded as a cheaper method of construction.
Coloured Smoothstone
Coloured blocks are a wonderful alternative to grey blocks as they require no painting or finishing & give a finished look as soon as the blockwork is finished.
Split Face
Split face blocks have a course texture on the face and are often refered to as sandstone look-a-like blocks because of their texture. This style of block is particularly popular on rural properties or for those wanting a sandstone looking new home.
Pitched Face
Pitched face blocks have an even courser texture than the split face & often tend to have the face protrude further giving an authentic sandstone block appearance. Available in several different colours this style of block is well worth considering for quioning brick work or on a rural "homestead" styled home.
Polished / Honed
Polished & Honed blocks are completely opposite to the pitched & split faced. These styles have a very smooth finished surface & are most popular in Architectural styled buildings & commercial applications. They are also popular in feature walls.
