Description

Slump block units offer a warm and rustic appearance with an adobe feel. All face shells and cross webs of a unit are irregularly rounded or bulged with a surface texture ranging from slick to coarse. This is the result of the manufacturing process which uses a "wet" mix. Following the molding of the unit, an additional compression is applied to create the slumped character of the block. The high degree of texture variation produced differs from unit to unit and may be affected by differences in height and length.

Sizes of slump block units are expressed in terms of nominal dimensions and compensate for an approximate 1/2 inch mortar joint. That is, an 8 x 6 x 16 is approximately 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches, with a permissible variation in height of ± 1/8 inch.
