Architectural masonry comes in four popular finishes, to create and complement any design vison, from traditional through to contemporary. ![Fairfaced and shot blast architectural masonry blocks in bathstone colour.](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Masonry/Architectural-Masonry/_622x652_crop_center-center_none/113286/Untitled-design-3.jpg) ## Finishes **Fairface** Where a crisp and precise surface finish is required, we offer a range of Fairface architectural masonry blocks in a number of colours, which are suitable for a wide range of applications, including leisure, commercial, education and office blocks. Shot-blasted** Shot-blasted architectural masonry blocks are an interesting facade option as they show off the natural aggregates within the block, giving a subtle but consistent texture. Their natural appearance provides a more rustic aesthetic to suit a range of project designs. In addition to our standard block sizes, a full range of specials are available. ![Polished and split faced architectural masonry blocks in bathstone colour.](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Masonry/Architectural-Masonry/_622x652_crop_center-center_none/113287/Untitled-design-4.jpg) ## Finishes **Polished** Where a quality finish is demanded, we can offer a polished block, which gives a consistent finish and accuracy of size. Polished blocks may be used both internally and externally and are available in a range of dynamic colours. Suitable for sports stadiums, shopping centres and commercial applications. A full range of specials are available in all colours giving architects the option to express their ideas from design to finished scheme. **Split Face** Split face is regarded as a cost-effective alternative to natural stone which blends well in traditional stone surroundings. Rugged and robust, split face blocks are available in both decorative and load bearing options and are available in a variety of colours. Whether used in standard building or a part of architectural designs, split face masonry gives specifiers the opportunity to express their ideas but with economy in mind. ## How we can help ![Bricks 016 a SA](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/_532x338_crop_center-center_none/108072/Bricks-016-a-SA.jpg) As well as supplying a wide range of products, we also offer a great range of bespoke services. - ![Brickability Icon Design and Spec](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/icons/Brickability-Icon__Design-and-Spec.svg) ## [Design and Specification](https://brickability.co.uk/design-specification) - ![Brickability Icon Technical Support](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/icons/Brickability-Icon__Technical-Support.svg) ## [Technical Support](https://brickability.co.uk/technical-support) - ![Brick matching icon](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/icons/brick-matching-icon.svg) ## [Brick and Stone Matching](https://brickability.co.uk/brick-matching) - ![Brickability Icon Stocked Products](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/icons/Brickability-Icon__Stocked-Products.svg) ## [Depots](https://brickability.co.uk/stocked-products) - ![Brickability Icon Request Samples](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/icons/Brickability-Icon__Request-Samples.svg) ## [Sample Service](https://brickability.co.uk/sample-service) Colour Swatch Explore a range of our architectural masonry colour, texture and finish options.

Architectural masonry is a concrete masonry block, made from a variety of aggregates that results in a decorative surface and precise dimensions. Much more decorative than a structural concrete block, architectural masonry is used on a facade as it can imitate natural stone blocks. Are there environmental benefits to architectural masonry? Yes, architectural masonry is a product that is recognised for its environmental benefits due to their high quantity of recycled content. According to the Green Guide to specification and the Code for Sustainable Homes, architectural masonry blocks contain up to 40% recycled content. Their durable nature and dense structure also provide longevity and insulation, for further sustainability benefits. - ![Architectural masonry stone blocks supplied to Royal Russell School.](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Masonry/_636x414_fit_center-center_none/Royal-Russell-School-21.2.jpg) - ![Shotblasted Diamond Grange School 2](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Masonry/_636x414_fit_center-center_none/21328/Shotblasted-Diamond-Grange-School-2.jpg) - ![Royal Russell School 9](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Masonry/_636x414_fit_center-center_none/21280/Royal-Russell-School-9.jpg) - ![Royal Russell School 6 2](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/_636x414_fit_center-center_none/Royal-Russell-School-6.2.jpg) 01 / 04 A number of our businesses supply architectural masonry blocks and other high-quality masonry products. - [![](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/logos/_192xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/222/BRICKMONGERSwessex_ONBLACK_GROUP_LOGO_2019_RGB-1.jpg)](https://brickability.co.uk/businesses/brick-mongers-wessex) OfficeDepot - [![](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/logos/_192xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/225/BRICKservices_ONBLACK_LOGO_2019_RGB-1.jpg)](https://brickability.co.uk/businesses/brick-services) OfficeDepotShowroom - [![](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/logos/Brickability.svg)](https://brickability.co.uk/businesses/brickability) OfficeDepotShowroom - [![](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/logos/BrickLink.svg)](https://brickability.co.uk/businesses/bricklink) OfficeDepotShowroom - [![](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/logos/_192xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/234/CPG_Building.jpg)](https://brickability.co.uk/businesses/cpg-building-supplies) OfficeDepot - [![](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/logos/LBT.svg)](https://brickability.co.uk/businesses/lbt-brick-and-facades) OfficeShowroom - [![](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/logos/_192xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/240/BrickMatching.jpg)](https://brickability.co.uk/businesses/matching-brick) OfficeDepotShowroom ## Looking for further design and technical guidance?
