Brick/Block... What is it called???

Hey y’all… what would you call these:

Masonry unit

Brick pier

Looks like Block to me .

Agree… CMU’s… Concrete Masonry Units. “Block” would be the inspector ‘slang’ word.

Double wythe brick

Hard square things.

Interesting I went to Home depot where I think most people would go and they had no listing for your information .

Brocks!

Red CMU.

Oh well. Guess that’s just another thing that separates us Americans from you Canadians!!

After being a mason for a number of years I would call them things— CMU’s… Concrete Masonry Units—When you see the grey ones that look like compressed cinder you could call them blocks aka cinder block

They use the slang word a few times here! :slight_smile:

Bunch of friggin’ HACKS!! (see first six words)…

Thanks guys… clear as mud. I use CMU or “Concrete Block” for the gray ones… just didn’t know “Brock” was a industry term… :smiley:

I guess my point is… It doesnt look like “concrete”

Do you know the definition of Concrete?..
