Architectural Masonry Units (AMU)
One of the most significant architectural benefits of designing with concrete masonry is its versatility - the finished appearance of a concrete masonry wall can be varied with the unit size and shape, colour of units and mortar, bond pattern, and surface finish of the units.
The term "Architectural Concrete Masonry Units" (AMUs) is typically used to describe concrete masonry 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.
AMUs are used for interior and exterior walls, partitions, terrace walls, and other enclosures, on top of being widely used for landscaping elements. Some units are available with the same treatment or pattern on both faces, to serve as both exterior and interior finish wall material, increasing both the economic and aesthetic advantages.
Integrated brickworks' AMUs comply to the same rigorous manufacturing quality standards as all our structural concrete masonry, accredited by SIRIM to BS 6073 and MS 27.
