Discover why brick remains one of the most popular building materials
Everyone wants a warmer, drier, healthier home, and brick helps tick those boxes - even more so now, with recent changes to the H1 clause in the NZ Building Code that governs your home's energy efficiency. Brick's thermal performance properties represent a higher construction R-value which is great news because you don't need as much insulating material as a cladding like weatherboards does. Additional benefits of using brick in your residential and commercial projects include the following;
Brick is low maintenance compared to other building materials. Claddings such as weatherboards, timber & plywood products require ongoing maintenance, which can prove more expensive in the long run.
Brick controls temperature by slowly releasing heat, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor environment and reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling. End result - lower energy bills.
Bricks can withstand heavy loads and look good for years with routine cleaning. In addition, fire, pest & weather resistant properties mean bricks won't rot or decay, even in the harshest conditions.
Bricks are often made from natural materials like clay, sand & aggregates, making them environmentally friendly & sustainable options for construction. Repurposing & recycling brick also reduces waste.
Brick comes in various colour choices, shapes and styles. So you're rich with possibilities when designing something unique, from classic to modern looks; you really are spoilt for choice.
Laying concrete blocks gives you more than a solid foundation that lasts
Versatile and perfect for foundations, retaining walls and other landscaping applications, concrete blocks have many advantages including long-lasting structural integrity and the highest fire resistance of any material. Like bricks, blocks have excellent thermal efficiency, absorbing heat and releasing it slowly, making it a popular environmentally friendly choice. Although there are fewer colour options, painting concrete blocks is easy and gives you more room to be creative and achieve the look you want.
