According to the present disclosure, methods and techniques for generating preferred concrete block products are provided. The methods and techniques involve providing addition of color to selected section within the blocks, as described herein, to generate enhancement effects. Typical applications involve spray applications for color pigment to visually distinct sections of the block on one or more decorative surfaces.

Molded concrete block having visually enhanced contrasting surface sections; methods, and use

According to the present disclosure, methods and techniques for generating preferred concrete block products are provided. The methods and techniques involve providing addition of color to selected section within the blocks (), as described herein, to generate enhancement effects. Typical applications involve spray applications for color pigment to visually distinct sections of the block () on one or more decorative surfaces.

A concrete block includes first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth planar faces. The first and second faces are generally parallel, and the distance between the first and second faces define a thickness of the first block; the third and fourth faces are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the first and second faces; the fifth face is perpendicular to the first, second, third, and fourth faces; the sixth face: extends perpendicular to the third face; extends toward the fourth face and ends at a non-planar remainder section; is parallel to the fifth face; is contained in a plane that intersects a plane containing the third face; and a distance from the intersection to the remainder section is at least as long as the thickness of the first block; and the remainder section extends between the sixth face and the fourth face and has a shape such that when a second block of the same construction as the first block has its remainder section engaged against the remainder section of first block, the remainder sections of the first and second blocks mate.

Modular concrete building block and methods

A concrete building block includes indicators along each end to assist in aligning a pin placed in the block with a channel in a like block in a course below as a wall is being constructed.

Building block, wall constructions made from building blocks, and methods

Molded surface of a concrete product

A multi-use block including a block body having at least a first leg. The blocks can be placed in different orientations with respect to each other to form multiple interlocking structures. The block can be a variety of materials, including concrete, and when concrete, used for making walls and columns. Methods of making and methods of use are provided.

Multi-use building block and methods

A concrete building block () includes a body () having opposite first () and second sides (), opposite first () and second end faces () extending between the first and second sides (), and opposite first () and second bearing faces () extending between the first and second sides () and the first and second end faces (). The first side has a first section () and second section (). The first section () and first end face () are shaped to mate with each other when a like block () is rotated 90&#xb0; and oriented adjacent thereto so that the center plane for the two blocks () are perpendicular to each other; and the second section () and second end face () are shaped to mate with each other when a like block () is rotated 90&#xb0; and oriented adjacent thereto so that the center plane for the two blocks () are perpendicular to each other. The building block () can be used for structures such as a free standing wall, retaining wall, garden wall, or columns.
