Where to Find Angelus Block Product Colors, Textures, and Downloads
Updated
Angelus Block's colors, textures, and downloadable files are spread across three areas of angelusblock.com: the Colors & Textures section for finish availability by product type, the Download Center for technical and design files, and AEC Resources for samples, specs, guides, and continuing education material. If you already know which product you're specifying, start with Colors & Textures; if you need documents for a submittal or model, go straight to the Download Center.
Colors & Textures: availability by product type
The site organizes color and texture information by product category rather than as one master swatch list. That matters because not every finish is offered across every block line — availability depends on the product type you're using.
- Browse by product type (block, mortar, and other categories) to see which colors and textures actually apply to that line.
- Treat the section as an availability check, not just a visual catalog: confirm the finish exists for your specified unit before committing it to drawings.
- If you're working with a specialty line such as Omni Block insulated CMU or CarbonKind low-carbon CMU, check that line's own listing rather than assuming the standard palette carries over.
Download Center: technical and design files
The Download Center is the central entry point for downloadable documents. It's the page to bookmark if you regularly need submittal material.
- Technical and design files are collected here rather than scattered per product page.
- The same Download Center is linked from multiple places on the site, so you may land on it from more than one navigation path.
- Because file libraries change as new products and EPDs are published, re-check the Download Center rather than relying on a saved copy from a previous project.
AEC Resources: samples, CE, specs, and guides
AEC Resources is aimed at architects, engineers, and contractors who need more than a datasheet.
| What you need | Where to look |
|---|---|
| Physical samples | AEC Resources |
| Continuing education (CE) | AEC Resources |
| Specifications | AEC Resources |
| Guides and SKM materials | AEC Resources |
| Colors and textures by product | Colors & Textures |
| Downloadable technical/design files | Download Center |
BIM and 3D model downloads
Angelus Block publishes BIM tools and a 3D unit library alongside its document resources:
- BIM Tools — applications for Revit and assets for BIM workflows.
- 3D Unit Library — generate and download SketchUp and ACAD unit models.
- Omni Block Insulated CMU — has its own BIM-related listing, so check there if your project uses that line.
If your deliverable is a model rather than a PDF, the 3D Unit Library is the relevant starting point rather than the Download Center.
Sustainability documentation
If your reason for visiting is green-building documentation, the published Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are the key files. Angelus Block states that its 2025 CMU EPDs for the CarbonKind line report lower Global Warming Potential than competing CMU lines currently on the market, and the EPDs are available to view from the sustainability area of the site. Pull the current published EPD rather than an older revision when documenting a project.
Practical sequence for a specification
- Identify your product type (standard CMU, Omni Block insulated CMU, CarbonKind low-carbon CMU, mortar, pavers).
- Confirm the color and texture are available for that product in Colors & Textures.
- Download the matching technical files and, if needed, the EPD from the Download Center.
- Request physical samples, specs, or CE material through AEC Resources.
- If you need a model, generate the unit from the 3D Unit Library for SketchUp or ACAD.
The main pitfall is assuming a finish or document applies across all product lines — availability is defined per product type, so verify at the product level before it goes into a submittal.
