Sustainability is not just a buzz word. These days it's a key focus for everyone in the housing industry from architects and designers through to product manufacturers, suppliers and homeowners.

And today, choosing sustainable options doesn't have to mean a compromise in terms of aesthetics. Monier concrete roofing tiles and clay bricks offer the best of both worlds.

The house featured on these pages is a good example. It features Monier Elabana concrete roofing tiles in Hapuka. Their dark charcoal colour is complemented by Monier Scallop clay bricks from the Mezzo range, which are one-and-a-half times taller than standard bricks.

Monier marketing manager Louise Farac says as well as enhancing the complex gabled form of the house, the tiles and bricks provide a thermal mass that reduces heat loss and helps control temperature variation inside the home. This has a direct impact on energy usage and the associated heating and cooling costs.

"The owners can enjoy plenty of other benefits as well," Farac says. "The tiles and bricks provide noise insulation, are very low maintenance, and won't leak. Their durability is backed by a 50-year performance guarantee."

All the company's concrete tiles and clay bricks are made in New Zealand, and are available in a wide range of colours and styles to suit all house styles.
