Re: Random naive brick question *concrete masonry questions* 8Feb 22, 2009 8:18 pm I think you do mean concrete masonry blocks like Mrs Martin said.
Have a look at Austral's masonry page, they have the normal grey (Besser) blocks and coloured masonry in smooth and split face. I think it's the coloured split face blocks you mean, they are the same material used in their Linkwall retaining wall systems. http://www.australbrick.com.au/vic/product_12_austral_masonry.php I love the 1/4 height split face blocks in Riverstone, am trying to convince FD2 we can afford to have some retaining walls built out of them... Good luck! FD www.thebedbug.com.au Children's Licenced and Treehouse Manchester for all of those new rooms!
