Ábalos Block - Split-face facing block for fencing
Ábalos Block: fencing with a split-stone face
The split finish is achieved by splitting the block: each piece ends up with a rough, irregular face, like stone masonry. The Ábalos Block is a split-face facing block made of water-repellent, through-colored concrete, available in 15 and 20 cm widths with matching half blocks, for fences and enclosures with character.
✅ Main advantages
Stone-effect split face: irregular split texture: no two blocks are alike.
Water-repellent and through-colored: no rendering, no painting, no repainting.
Two widths with half blocks: 20 and 15 cm, running bond laying without cutting; half block with 2 split faces for ends.
Five colors: Arena, Blanco Macael, Crema, Gris and Salmón.
Complete system: corners, bond beam blocks, end block and matching split tile (sold separately).

Start on a leveled footing or slab.
Build up in courses in running bond with mortar, keeping the joints clean.
Reinforce and fill solid as per calculations, using the matching bond beam blocks.
Finish the top with a coping or a sill.
💡 Professional tip: mix blocks from two or three pallets as you build: the split texture varies from one production run to another, and mixing pieces spreads the nuances across the whole wall.
Frequently Asked Questions
¿Qué es el acabado split?
La cara vista se obtiene partiendo el bloque: queda rugosa e irregular, como piedra partida, y cada pieza es distinta.
¿Cuántos bloques necesito por metro cuadrado?
12,5 bloques por m²; los medios bloques rinden 25 por m².
¿Hay que enfoscar o pintar?
No: es cara vista hidrofugada y coloreada en masa. El vallado queda terminado al levantarlo.
¿Para qué sirve el medio bloque de 2 caras split?
Para extremos y últimas hiladas donde se ven dos caras: ambas llevan la textura split.
¿Cómo evito diferencias de tono?
Mezcla bloques de dos o tres palets al levantar: la textura y el tono varían por fabricación y mezclarlos reparte los matices.
¿Resiste heladas?
Sí, es hormigón prensado hidrofugado apto para exterior todo el año.
