Premier is a high-strength architectural masonry block in a variety of finishes and colours. It is produced in a consistent finish with precise and accurate sizing.

Applications include all commercial, public and infrastructure buildings. It is suitable for use above and below the DPC, both internally and externally.

The blocks are available in the following finishes:

Fairfaced blocks have a consistent, close-textured face, free from significant blemishes and with a clean regular arise. They are guaranteed to have one face and one end.

Textured units are lightly shot-blasted, exposing the colour and texture of the natural aggregates used in their manufacture. They are supplied face-only as standard.

Polished units have a high-sheen finish that exposes the natural aggregates to give a depth of colour. They are supplied face only as standard. The polishing process reduces the nominal width by approximately 3mm.

The Premier range is manufactured using a semi-dry process and is compliant to European Standard BS 771-3.
