What happens here

The presenter demonstrates the versatility of Versa-Lok blocks by showcasing how they can be easily split to create custom sizes or rough faces for corners and unique designs. Using a 'MasterSplitter' machine, a Versa-Lok standard unit block is split in half. The result is two blocks, each with a rough, 'natural stone' face, allowing them to be used for outside corners or other aesthetic purposes while maintaining the integrity of the Versa-Lok system. This ability to easily customize the blocks on-site without extensive cutting is highlighted as a significant advantage.

Goal: Demonstrate how Versa-Lok blocks can be split to create custom sizes and rough faces for versatile design options.

thing behind the scenes show you how easy we can split these blocks and handle these blocks they're very versatile I guess that's why they're called versatile that's right Stan so what we're going to do is we're going to to create freestanding walls and columns we can split it in half and we can split off the back and you can do this with a splitter or you can do this with a hand chisel now he's going to show us how fast that you can split a block with this versus Stan best part about it creates a rough face so that this can go on an outside corner and it looks just like the rest of the block so now we're going to look at the versalock Mosaic unit what I like about this unit is actually it used the same same system as the standards they are all solid blocks and they're pinned together but they create a random pattern you can actually see it behind us although it's a panel it is a system the look of it once it's installed makes it look like you put a jakea puzzle together it's a really cool thing what you just saw Jim and I do is we pulled off the cap units the cap units are an A and A B
