Bricks are a mainstay in architecture, giving prestige and elegance to any building project.
For many people, Australia’s harsh weather conditions that are a natural part of the climate make choosing a low maintenance brick alternative a much more attractive and cost-effective option for their projects.
Fairview reintroduces our beloved brick, same material, colour and texture, with a new, modern and artful soul. Smartbric. It’s the same brick you’ve always loved but rethought to meet modern and futuristic building needs.
As aesthetically pleasing as brick may be, a brick alternative such as Smartbric’s universal eco-system, offers greater durability and flexibility, making it the perfect design alternative for projects.
Our Australian made architectural range of traditional bricks are ideally suited to Federation style buildings, upscale commercial buildings, and restoration projects whilst our imported contemporary range offers a chic and stylish alternative.
When specifying brickwork, various criteria should be considered depending on factors such as the intended application, environmental exposure and the aesthetic effect required.
Brick has unlimited design possibilities, dramatically increases a project’s value, and outperforms every other building material from maintenance and an investment viewpoint.
But did you realise there’s more than just a brick’s colour to decide on?
Do you want colours that complement or contrast? Sometimes, you can achieve both.
Rough and rustic or smooth and sophisticated? The options are endless.
Use bricks with longer length and a thinner profile as a feature wall, or select one colour, where you can incorporate other materials such as metal or render for a layered finish.
Smartbric brings the beauty of traditional brick façade’s together with the functionality and ease of a brick slip installation. Eliminating the need for traditional adhesive and mortar, but creating a much easier and less labour intensive install that can be completed in a fraction of the time.
