A seamless concrete texture with cmu block arranged in a stretcher pattern. The image represents a physical area of 1800 x 1409 mm (70.9 x 55.5 inches) in total, with each individual block measuring approximately 440 x 225 mm. The joints are filled with mortar and are 10 mm (0.4 inches) in width.
Concrete masonry units (CMUs) are manufactured concrete blocks used widely in architecture and construction. A blend of cement, aggregate, and water, CMU blocks are typically manufactured to standard sizes with a hollow core to reduce cost and weight. CMU blocks are often used as structural elements for buildings of all types, typically covered with rendering treatments to form external walls, cladding, facades, and landscaping elements.
This texture uses a running pattern also known as a stretcher bond. The stretcher bond is one of the most common bonds used in masonry construction and uses stretchers, bricks laid flat with their long edge parallel to the wall. Each alternating course is offset by a half stretcher.
This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
