203 - C- Tenant Concrete Masonry Units - Interior

Following through with the Clayton company, I have found that the interior CMU units that I will use are going to be following a green theme of GLASSTONE polished and glazed CMU.
As my tenent is a DayCare Facility, the safety of this system was chosen as well as low maintenance of these walls and the durability involved and lack of needed Finshes for walls would reduced some of the smoke that may be caused in the posible event of a fire.

Some of the products included to follow other required finishes of the interior are:

Artic Emerald Small.................................Arctic Emerald Small
Artic Emerald Large.................................Arctic Emerald Large
Artic Opal Small........................................Arctic Opal Small
Warm Tone Emerald Small......................Warm Tone Emerald Small
Warm Tone Emerald Large......................Warm Tone Emerald Large
Warm Tone Opal Small.............................Warm Tone Opal Small
Warm Tone Opal Large............................Warm Tone Opal Large
