Many home owners love the look of a Sandstone home, now it could be more of a reality than just a dream. Timbercrete's new Hunter Series 'Sandstone' brick looks phenomenal, is a perfect replacement size for clay brick, has environmental benefits to burn and is economically priced. Not to mention the fact that you can nail it like timber, it has loadbearing support for double brick construction and has the highest fire rating that a masonry product can achieve, i'd say it's very desirable to consider this brick as the brick of choice for your next home build.

Being half the weight of clay or concrete, bricklayers can easily lay this brick with one hand yet they are laying three brick sizes in one, the dimensions being exactly one and a half times the length and two times the height of a standard clay brick also means it will take a third of the time and third of the mortar which means a third of the cost of labour to install.

Overall if you like a Sandstone look or even if you want to render, this Timbercrete, Hunter Series brick is the best eco responsible solution to replace the environment burning clay brick for your next build.

Timbercrete Blocks, great for the ears!

Thinking of building with Timbercrete Bricks? If you are, then be assured that the latest acoustic tests prove that Timbercrete won't give you any problems with hearing the neighbours, the traffic, or noises that come from the inside out.


Timbercrete performs extremely well acoustically and in most cases exceeds the minimum requirements for construction in a variety of applications


"It's also worth noting that not only does Timbercrete perform better than clay fired brick in that it is able to absorb sound, but it also outperforms aerated concrete such as Hebel Blocks with regard to sound transference (airborne sound transmission loss). It seems that aerated concrete performs very poorly compared with Timbercrete in sound transmission tests. With regards to the sound absorption test, Timbercrete also performs better especially as aerated concrete also needs to be rendered says Peter Collier from Timbercrete Pty Ltd"


So, if you're looking for an excellent brick product that is loadbearing, carries highest possible fire ratings, blocks out sound and looks great, then look no further than Timbercrete!
