Reasons to Choose Concrete Masonry and Segmental Paving

Acoustics: Acoustics

Keeps sound contained for a more peaceful environment at home or at work. Concrete Masonry reduces reflected noise within a building, and resists the passage of airborne and impact sounds through walls.
Robustness: Robustness

Concrete Masonry has excellent load bearing capacity, and resists the forces of wind shears. The cavities in concrete block easily accommodate vertical and horizontal steel reinforcement. Masonry is the best building material for the harsh Australian climate.
Fire Resistance: Fire Resistance

Concrete Masonry has proven to be one of the best fire-rated building materials.
Structural Integrity: Structural Integrity

Concrete Masonry can be used with all roofing systems, has excellent Vertical load bearing capacity, and resists the forces of heavy wind loads.
Durability: Durability

Masonry is known as being the most durable building product offering high performance throughout the entire design life of the structure. Requires little maintenance and retains original characteristics. This means that Concrete Masonry is a cost effective building material.
Thermal performance: Thermal performance

The thermal mass of concrete masonry walls insulate against outside temperatures for constant temperatures inside therefore reducing heating and cooling costs.
Versatility: Versatility

Concrete Masonry blocks are made in many different shapes and sizes, colours and textures, strengths and other mechanical properties, including: coloured, polished, textured or spilt blocks; plain blocks used as the loadbearing leaf in cavity construction and nonloadbearing partitions; reinforced hollow blocks in large building panels and retaining walls. Perfect for building design.
Serviceability: Serviceability

Masonry segmental paving are ideal for load carrying pavements for most urban traffic speed.
