Masonry/Walling

Forticrete Masonry used as 5 star hotel solution

The Challenge: To provide a robust and visually pleasing finished masonry product suitable for use within the grounds of a 5 Star Hotel.

The characteristics for the product must:

  • Be aesthetically pleasing
  • Be adaptable to the architects vision for terraces and canopies connecting the buildings
  • Suitable for both residential and communal units
  • Provide a product which performs in an A-rated build
The Solution

Roadstone provided 1,200m² of Forticrete Masonry (charcoal) for both Residential and Communal aspects of the development. The product was installed by a contractor in a random bond using a charcoal pigmented mortar supplied and mixed by the contractor.

A distinct benefit of Forticrete Masonry is that it was built by a standard block-layer, removing the need for a stone mason.

The Result

Installation of Roadstone’s Charcoal Forticrete Masonry resulted in a visually appealing product that fitted well within the existing aesthetics.
