“Tooth” or Teeth” is a term to describe a surface’s ability to hold or grip a substrate.
Perfect Block’s inherent textured (slightly rough) cementitious surfaces can hold cementitious exterior stuccos and interior plasters or drywall mud without additional furring or wire lathe, eliminating many costly additional materials and labor intensive steps to clad exterior and interior walls.
White block has no “tooth” and requires furring and/or secured wire lathe to cover with stucco or plaster.
