WALLS

Walls are usually built with CMU block. They may be functional such as retaining walls, or they may be for architectural effect, such as boundary or fence walls which include buttressed walls, gates and arches. Block walls can be covered with a veneer such as stucco or stucco stone or they may be decorated with decorative wall caps such as fancy brick caps along the top of the wall. Sometimes brick walls have decorative bonds. Decorative glass block walls can also be built.
