Forticrete will also be profiling its new range of concrete ‘Linear’ bricks, available in 22 stone finishes. The comprehensive collection presents even more options for creating striking and truly distinctive stone finishes for projects; whilst still retaining the beauty, longevity and traditional feel that brick can create. John Lambert, general manager at
Forticrete, commented: “Currently, the availability of high quality, sustainable building materials across the UK building industry is challenging. When it comes to material selection, the availability of building materials has never been a more significant consideration. “At Forticrete, we have seen a
noticeable increase in uptake from both builders and clients looking for cost-effective solutions guaranteed to help make any building look fantastic. As such, we have made significant strides to ensure our leading ranges are all available when needed, as well as introducing our Linear products, so builders and clients needn’t sacrifice award-winning, sustainable design. “After the success of attending
last year’s exhibition, the decision to participate in Ecobuild 2014 was an easy one. Ecobuild quite simply provides the ideal opportunity for us to bring our solutions direct to those that could benefit from them most.”
As part of its ECOBLOCK range
of masonry, Forticrete’s decorative concrete facing blocks are available in various finishes, profiles and a wide variety of exciting colours providing an array of sustainable yet attractive solutions that will help make any building stand out from the crowd. In addition, these decorative concrete blocks are acknowledged in the Green Guide to Specification, where they are rated A or A+. Specifying these blocks enables architects to gain maximum
credits for the BREEAM
assessment for their school, office or other non- domestic building project. Forticrete’s range of concrete ‘Linear’ bricks come in a size of 490mm x 65mm x 102mm which accentuate the linearity of any façade. The collection boasts striking stone finishes including subtly burnished finishes ideal for smooth natural stone appearances; polished finishes ideal for broad, glossy expanses of modern, reflective and decorative walling; and options for a natural weathered appeal. With its long-standing commitment to the environment and sustainable building, Forticrete has adopted the ISO 14001 environment management system across all sites and has been accredited to ‘Very Good’ for the responsible sourcing standard BES 6001 across its entire product range and all manufacturing sites.
