A-rated residential build features locally made Concrete Masonry Brick

The Challenge: To provide a robust and visually pleasing finished masonry walling product that:

  • Is suitable for residential unit types and be visually pleasing against the render areas of the buildings
  • Provide an aesthetically pleasing design
  • Would have to perform in an A-rated build
  • Would be suitable for use on both the dwellings and perimeter walling
The Solution

Roadstone provided approx. 75,000 Golden Multi Rumbled Huntstown Brick for both aspects of the development and all perimeter works. Huntstown Brick in Charcoal colour was used as a window feature. The product was installed by the contractor in a stretcher bond.  The Huntstown brick was built by a standard brick-layer using factory produced standard mortar.  Roadstone also supplied Aqua Thomond permeable paving for this project.

The Result

The result of specifying Huntstown Brick on this project is a build that is both visually appealing and highly efficient.  The consistent use of the brick on perimeter walls as well as buildings has allowed the developer to produce a development of aesthetic integrity.

Lessons Learned

Lessons Learned

Ensure that accurate measurement of masonry required is carried out pre-build to ensure ease of delivery.

Ensure sample panel of masonry brick is constructed on site prior to commencement of construction. This ensures that all parties are satisfied with the aesthetics of the masonry unit before construction begins.
