Timbercrete Bricks now in Macclesfield South Australia

Timbercrete Bricks are now being manufactured in the Adelaide Hills in Macclesfield S.A.  The move from McLaren Vale to Macclesfield was very much required so we could meet the needs to produce larger quantities but do so in an environmentally suitable surrounding. The people of maccy have welcomed us warmly and we are very grateful to the people of S.A. for helping us get here. We are currently producing bricks for some great homes in Lynton SA and Seaford SA and we look forward to much more as we offer a fantastic building product to our friends in the Adelaide Hills, the Fleurieu, Adelaide and greater S.A.
For more information on Timbercrete bricks please visit our Website or contact us Here.

Timbercrete Bricks in Victoria

We ventured into Victoria on the weekend to drop off a few bricks here and there and caught up with some wonderful people who had either built with or are building with Timbercrete bricks manufactured here in Adelaide.

Most of the construction has been built in high bushfire risk zones and the use of Timbercrete blocks in high BAL zones is appropriate, due to Timbercrete bricks having superior fire resistance ratings (see the data) over most, if not all other masonry products.


The homes we visited in Victoria were in Axedale, Tolmie, Marysville (including the Marysville Lollyshop built using Timbercrete), Warrandyte, Kangaroo Ground, Kinglake, Anakie and Pomonal.

There's a few photo's of the homes below.

For sizes of the various blocks and pricing you can click Here. If you would like further information, including builders who built the homes or further contacts in Victoria, then feel free to email Here. For further information regarding Timbercrete bricks please visit our Website.

Timbercrete 360 Series Sandstone Bricks are becoming a popular choice with homeowners!

While Timbercrete offers a wide variety of choice for sizes of bricks and blocks, our 360 Series, 100mm thick blocks are fast becoming the most popular.

Contrasting Timber Colour goes well with Timbercrete.
Used in either double-brick fashion (as shown in the photo's) or veneer, these blocks offer 4-5 times the 'R' rating than that of a standard clay brick, are 50% lighter in weight than clay or concrete, have super high fire ratings, fantastic acoustic properties and the list goes on.

These 360 Series blocks are manufactured to slot into clay brick increments, meaning if your home has been planned for clay bricks then these can be used as far superior substitute, not to mention how great they look as well!

The block size of the 360 series is one and a half times the length of a standard brick and two times the height, this means whenever your bricklayer lays a block, he's laying 3 standard sized bricks in one hit! Because of the lighter weight your bricklayer can still lay the bricks with one hand no problem. This means savings on time and costs!
A bricklayer easily lays a Timbercrete brick.


Most of all Timbercrete blocks are hand made and the mixture is made using recycled timber waste. The energy it takes to manufacture a Timbercrete block is minimal, especially when compared to the hungry embodied energy it takes to manufacture a kiln fired clay brick.
