Astra-Glaze-SW+ ® …
The beauty of ceramic tile …
the durability of concrete masonry.
Astra-Glaze-SW+ ® glazed masonry units are lightweight or
medium weight concrete blocks with a thermoset glazing
compound permanently molded to one or more faces.
Inseparable from the block, the glazed faces offer a tight,
impervious surface that provides outstanding performance.
Significant pre-consumer recycled content
Regionally extracted, processed and manufactured materials
High thermal mass concrete walls optimize energy performance
Mold and moisture resistant
Tight, impervious surface perfect for sanitary and clean
room environments
Up to a 4-hour fire rating (depending on thickness and
internal configuration)
Custom colors, shapes and sizes
Outstanding colorfastness
Interior and exterior applications
Easy to clean – no need to paint or refinish
– Graffiti resistant
– Virtually impenetrable to spray paint, permanent markers, grease & crayon
– Exceptionally resistant to staining, abrasion, impact and chemicals
One-step, single-trade installation saves time and money
Load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls
