As the saying goes – brick is best!
Long considered one of the most sustainable building materials, bricks are made from natural materials, require little maintenance, make homes energy efficient and can be recycled. They also last forever, so when you build with bricks you know you’re making a smart, durable choice.
Selkirk and Austral are two manufacturers driving sustainability in brickwork products.
Selkirk bricks are sourced from natural clay deposits in the Victorian goldfields and their ongoing commitment to technological advancement puts them at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing.
Austral is committed to carbon neutrality and their parent company Brickworks is part of the government-backed Climate Active program – actively working to reduce carbon emissions across the board.
Colorbond’s® reputation precedes it, but it’s worth reminding ourselves that all steel contained in Colorbond® is 100% recyclable, and the inclusion of solar reflective technology in almost every colourway means keeping out the heat and keeping energy use to a minimum.
Have you heard? LED lighting uses up to 75% less energy than regular halogen bulbs. They also last around ten times longer, meaning fewer changes and less strain on the planet and your wallet!
Take it up a level or down a notch by installing dimmer switches on your LED lights, so you can control the cost while creating the mood.
Nothing elevates the aesthetic of your kitchen, laundry or bathroom like sleek and stylish tapware. With Alder you can be certain you’re getting energy efficient ratings without missing out on any luxuries, such as their Save Mode. This reduces household hot water energy spend by up to 20%.
