Spec-Finish® is a concrete masonry unit (CMU) with a special tight and smooth surface texture to provide a smooth surface for high-performance coatings that are field applied. Compared to normal CMU, Spec-Finish’s smooth texture provides a superior substrate, requiring fewer primer coating layers to produce a smooth finished result.

Spec-Finish® and Spec-Surface™ use the same smooth, tight-textured CMU. Spec-Finish combines that unit with high-performance coatings from Tnemec. Spec-Surface is meant for regular paint applications.

Spec-Brik is available in various sizes for structural and veneer purposes. Spec-Brik is available as a veneer (4x4x16) or as a through-wall unit suitable for load-bearing single wythe walls: (6x4x16, 8x4x16, 10x4x16, or 12x4x16).

• ‍Durability: Resistant to wear, impact, and harsh environmental conditions.
• ‍Cost-Effective: Less expensive than traditional coated CMU due to reduced requirements for added blocker and filler preparatory coating layers. Also, less expensive than glazed block or tile alternatives.
• ‍Colors: Available in a full range of colors, allowing for design flexibility.
• ‍Low Maintenance: The finish is long-lasting and easy to clean, reducing maintenance costs over time.
• ‍Capable of pinhole-free surfaces: Suitable for applications requiring clean (and cleanable) surfaces, such as clean rooms or food preparation areas.

Spec-Finish® is suitable for interior wall surfaces. It acts as an air/vapor barrier layer when applied to interior wall surfaces of exterior walls.

Spec-Finish® coatings come in a wide range of colors to match any design scheme. Architects and designers can choose from a palette of vibrant, natural, or neutral tones to create the desired aesthetic for their projects.

• ‍Animal Care Facilities: Offices, retail stores, and mixed-use developments.
• ‍Restaurants and Grocery Stores: Food preparation areas.
• ‍Research and Laboratory Facilities: Clean rooms.
• ‍Healthcare Facilities: Hospitals and medical offices.
