Astra-Glaze glazed block offers
color and durability to projects. Glazed blocks
are lightweight concrete blocks that have a thermosetting
glazing compound permanently molded to the face.
The compound is heat-treated and becomes an integral
part of the block. Many shapes and sizes are available
to meet the designers needs.
ASTRA-GLAZE-SW®+ glazed
units are concrete masonry blocks which have a
thermosetting glazing compound permanently molded
to one or more faces. This glazing compound is
cured and heat treated in gas-fired tunnel kilns
thus becoming an integral part of the unit.
The glazed facings are molded
in individual molds, assuring dimensional uniformity
of the glazed facing regardless of minor variations
in the block. Glazed concrete blocks are lightweight
units conforming to ASTM C90 Type 1. Special manufacturing
processes are used to provide a permanent, impervious
satin glazed finish with exceptional resistance
to staining, abrasion, impact, and chemicals.
