Looking for names of national distributing manufacturers, other than Stark, who produce a good, reliable, and full-line of all shapes of SGFT.
Appreciate your help! |

Thanks, Helaine, but they currnetly are our problem. They apparently do not produce a full line of shapes, and so our project has been "tough" as to meeting the details, etc.. Also, received far too many "dinged" units |

Elgin-Butler is the only SGFT manufacturer I've specified besides Stark. I'm not so sure about the good, reliable, full-line of all shapes.... |

Have you considered glazed concrete masonry units? They're typically provided in the same shapes as standard CMU. The largest manufacturer of glazed masonry units is Trenwyth at http://www.trenwyth.com. The specific product is Astra-Glaz-SW+. |

Thanks much, Ronald, we have moved there and looking at their ground-faced units also. Have had some problems in the past with glaze-wrapped units getting "dinged" up. |
