Strong statement
Visual impact may draw you to a particular cladding, but it's a product's longevity that will cement the deal. These homes feature bricks from the Midland Brick NZ product range
First impressions matter, but street appeal isn't the only factor to consider when choosing the cladding for your new home. Strength, durability and ease of upkeep are also important.
Midland Brick NZ has brought all these elements together in its current brick range. The company recognises that many homeowners want their house to make a strong visual statement but they don't want to compromise on quality.
For this reason, Midland Brick has a large range of bricks, which all offer the same benefits. The company says the bricks won't fade, rot or warp, and are not susceptible to impact damage, so your home will be looking just as good in 50 years.
Midland bricks come in a variety of rough and smooth textures, and in colours that range from off-white to deep browns. As well as solid colours, there are blends, handmade bricks, and bricks designed to enhance contemporary designs.
Combining bricks in different ways can create added interest. Coloured mortar, and bricks and pavers of different shapes are other options.
Midland Brick has a nationwide distribution network. For details, contact Midland Brick NZ, 8 Cowley Pl, Albany, phone 0508 Midland (643 5263). Website: www.midlandbrick.co.nz.
