Homes that people
want to live in.
Homes that last.
Masonry homes provide superior
performance benefits, both in
construction and in use.
Energy saving
The thermal performance of concrete and
masonry homes can provide homeowners with
the lowest energy bills because of the superior
insulation, airtightness and thermal mass.
Long life
Purchasing a home is a major investment and
the inherent performance of concrete and
masonry provides robust and secure homes that
will last for many generations.
Low fire risk
Concrete and masonry are non-combustible
protecting life and property safety for occupants.
During construction, these properties also
protect the developer and surrounding
community from spread of flame.
Quiet
Masonry walls can support precast floors which
do not squeak: 48% of homeowner noise issues
raised with NHBC for detached homes were
creaking floors (NHBC Foundation Report NF56).
Flood resilient
Homes built from concrete and masonry
suffer less damage because they are robust,
dimensionally stable and do not rot.
