Dry Block
A Dry Block is a hollow CMU designed for moisture-resistant construction, making it ideal for projects where water absorption and durability are critical. Dry Block CMUs are widely used in institutional, residential, and commercial settings where moisture control and long-lasting performance are a priority. Visually, dry block CMUs resemble standard concrete blocks, but they have a dense, less permeable surface feel, offering added protection against water intrusion.
Uses: Exterior walls, Basements and foundation walls, Commercial buildings, Retaining walls
Nominal Dimensions are Depth x Width x Length (in.)
Actual dimensions (height and width) are minus 3/8″ less to allow for mortar.
Dry Block and Mortar Admixtures have distinct formulations and serve different purposes, meaning they cannot be substituted for one another.
