Creative use of Forticrete Masonry at Cork school
The Challenge: To provide a robust and visually pleasing finished masonry product.
The product would have to:
- Be able to accommodate the design features specified by the architect.
- Provide a robust masonry surface.
- Provide an aesthetically pleasing design.
Roadstone provided 3.000m² of Forticrete Walling (Charcoal Grey) for the exterior wall of the school. This comprised of D1’s (100mm standard charcoal grey masonry blocks), D12’s (100mm standard charcoal grey masonry ½ blocks), SS51’s (100mm simulated half split charcoal grey masonry blocks), G1’s (100mm grooved charcoal grey masonry blocks) and D15’s & D16’s (100mm smooth Quoin blocks).
It was necessary to provide this array of masonry units to realise the architects design of a stack bonded masonry construction in both smooth and split finishes. Roadstone also supplied an on-site charcoal mortar silo to ensure consistency of mortar colour (mortar is 12% of masonry block surface).
