Split Face - Dimensions

Common practice in describing masonry units is to give the width first, the height second, and the length last. For example, a 12x8x16 splitface CMU is 12” wide, 8” high and 16” long. These sizes are in nominal dimensions and actual sizes are 3/8” smaller to allow for mortar joints. In addition, when ordering or specifying splitface block it is important to clearly state whether the block should be split on one side or on one side and one end (splitface corner).
