Features and Benefits of the GB Masonry Collection
SOUND INSULATION
Due to their mass, concrete masonry blocks out noise better than traditional building materials. Resulting in a quieter home environment.
LOW MAINTENANCE
When you build with concrete masonry products you are building with a material that requires minimal maintenance and upkeep, so you have more time for the important things in life.
RANGE OF COLOURS AND FINISHES
Concrete masonry products are available in a range of over 78 colour and finish combinations. This offers you a wide range of products to choose from to suit the style of your home
FIRE RESISTANT
Concrete masonry products are made from non combustible materials so they are fire resistant and therefore ideal for bushfire prone areas.
LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Masonry product production has minimal impact on the environment because they do not deplete precious natural and limited resources like many other materials. Concrete masonry products are cured in temperature controlled kilns with comparatively little energy used.
THERMAL MASS
Due to their mass, concrete masonry products slow the transfer of external temperature fluctuations into internal living areas thereby reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling devices.
WEATHER RESISTANT
Exterior Walls that will hold up to heavy storms, U.V.degradation, blistering heat, and sub-zero temperatures.
IMPACT RESISTANCE
Because masonry products are made from concrete they are strong and durable which means that they can endure significant impact from external forces with minimal if any impact.
AFFORDABLE
When comparing other products on the market concrete masonry is an affordable option. This is especially true when considering the complete building system as concrete masonry can reduce or negate the need for accessory products such as sarking and insulation.
TERMITE RESISTANT
Masonry walls won’t be degraded by termites as there’s no wood for the termites to eat.
SPEED OF CONSTRUCTION
Concrete masonry products are much faster to build with than some commonly used walling materials and have the added benefit of being both structural and aesthetic.
