When planning to build a sustainable home and a comfortable life, you have a lot to consider. With their complete range of cost, comfort and style benefits, bricks are the one and only choice.
For energy efficient warmth in winter and cool in summer, brick combines perfectly with passive building design to harness natural sources of energy. The natural density and thermal insulating qualities of clay moderate building temperature and reduce energy consumption rates, to provide year round comfort and savings.
Bricks don’t need paint or other treatments to maintain aesthetics and durability. Even after 50 years they are still strong, reliable and relatively maintenance free, saving you on the cost and time required to upkeep your home, compared to lighter weight materials.
The most endearing quality of a brick home is its ability to withstand the test of time, even under the harshest environmental conditions. Forget about painting, sealing or other high cost finishes; brick is weatherproof and with virtually no maintenance, brick’s cost effective, impeccable performance will last a lifetime.
For creative colour and design, think brick. From striking rich chocolate to glorious vintage red, creamy almond or golden light sand, even shiny metallic or smooth pastel palettes, the natural earthy tones of brick provide impressive and lasting colour contrast, perfect in any setting.
As one of the world’s most sought after and trustworthy sources of sustainable building materials, brick is renown for its strength and secure investment potential. The quality construction, quiet calm and ageless appeal of a solid brick home will protect your family for generations to come.
Made from organic minerals found in shale and local, naturally abundant sources of clay; brick’s long-lasting life cycle offers ongoing environmental and health benefits. Durable, re-usable, free from contaminants and naturally resistant to pests or fire, brick is safe to live in, making it the ultimate material in responsible and economical home building design.
Building with brick is cost effective and easy to work with, and without the need for expensive rendering brick is the original building material of choice. Choose from the traditional, classic and enduring natural elegance of heritage, to the sophistication of cutting edge modern symmetrical design.
Bricks add distinct style to any type of home. Their natural colours and textures enable you to create striking façade contrasts or more traditional neutral colour tones.
