Standard Gray masonry, like all CMUs, are GREEN building materials and can contribute to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) building points. CMUs are made locally—close to the customer’s point of need—and conform to a quality that meets or exceeds industry standards. Units are available in a multitude of shapes, sizes, strengths, and weights. Masonry units continue to be the building component that is perfect for today's sustainable commercial, educational, industrial and residential needs.

The term "architectural concrete masonry units" typically is used to describe units displaying any one of several surface finishes that affects the texture of the unit, allowing the structural wall and finished surface to be installed in a single step. Architectural concrete masonry units are used for interior and exterior walls, partitions, terrace walls, and other enclosures. Some units are available with the same treatment or pattern on both sides, to serve as both exterior and interior finish wall material, increasing both the economic and aesthetic advantages. Architectural units comply with the same quality standards as conventional concrete masonry.
