Shotblast Concrete Block

Shotblasting is a texturing technique that is applied to our Precision Block units. The blasting of the faces of the Precision Block with shot, creates a textured relief look which not only give depth to the concrete block unit, but exposes the inner aggregates. The amount of shotblast can be adjusted from light to heavy for more design flexibility.

Shotblast Block conforms to the same structural specifications and shapes & sizes as our Precision Block.
