We strongly recommend that all scored joints be tuckpointed
and tooled, particularly on exterior applications, to prevent
moisture penetration and to match the real joints between
the blocks. Scoring is not recommended on double-faced units.

The diagram above shows nominal thickness available. Please
note the respective thicknesses available listed under each

All Trenwyth concrete masonry units are
manufactured with an integral water resistant CMU admixture
to resist moisture.
JOINT DETAIL
The glazed face dimensions are
7 3/4"
x 15 3/4" which allows
a 1/4" joint using modular
coursing.
DETAILING TO KEEP MOISTURE OUT
All exterior mortar joints must contain
a Trenwyth-approved integral water repellent to resist efflorescence.
