Smooth Faced Sandstone Series
The Smooth Faced Sandstone Series is more uniform in shape and size. It has an appearance similar to that of smooth cut sand stone or typical limestone. Like sandstone and limestone it often displays subtle or dramatic natural color variations, or induced variations using color oxides of your choice. The finished product has a more formal look than the cobblestone series.
These larger blocks can be created with a 2” wide internal cavity to maintain ease of construction. Unlike sandstone or limestone Builderscrete is far more cost effective per square foot, it is far lighter and easer to build with and offers a far superior insulation value. These blocks will stay very consistent unlike the Cobblestone series and the mortar joints will stay consistent at 3/8”.

The key to successfully building Builderscrete® walls is to work to incremental benchmarks.
That is, both the horizontal and vertical courses need to be laid out in increments of “one block plus one mortar joint”, as per the chart below. By strict observance of these increments, the finished wall aesthetics will be maximized, waste eliminated and cost minimized.
