Hand-Pitched Appeal

Cordillera Stone

L

ewis Energy Group built a community center “to celebrate the natural beauty of the area and the people who live in Encinal, Texas,” with walls of Featherlite Cordillera Stone. Cordillera concrete masonry units echo the hand-pitched natural stone of historic Texas courthouses. Fifteen standard colors and nine custom blends include the community center’s subtle Sonora, complemented by half-height Padre Island Sand. Nominal bed depths can be 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 inches, all with a nominal face dimension of 8x16 or 4x16 inches. Cordillera Stone is engineered for single-wythe and veneer applications, incorporating DRY-BLOCK® integrated water repellent. Made in Converse, near San Antonio, Cordillera ships across most of Texas and neighboring states within the 500-mile radius for LEED-credited “regional materials.” Look for Cordillera when you download Masonry Designer, Acme’s design studio for brick, block, and stone, available free at brick.com.
