Pressed Stone is designed to bring the variation and character of natural stone into a 70 mm concrete brick system.

This project currently underway in Clyde, Central Otago shows how much the final expression can change through colour, mortar, laying pattern and detailing. Here, Crawford Schist is paired with grey mortar and vertical soldier courses to create a more textural, irregular finish.

The latest blog looks at how Pressed Stone works, the design possibilities, specification and installation process, plus practical insights from the installer on this project.

There’s something special about being part of creating homes people genuinely want to come home to.

A beautiful example of how material, warmth and considered design can come together to make a home feel both refined and lived in.

Grey is never just grey.

The same colour can read very differently depending on the finish, texture and the way it catches the light.

A subtle shift in treatment can completely change the character of the material.

The right finish can be just as important as the colour itself.

One we always enjoy coming back to.

A longer format can completely change the character of brickwork.

At 450mm long and 70mm high, the 450 Half creates a more horizontal, refined appearance.

Available in a range of colours and finishes, from smooth and honed through to rumbled and textured, it can take on very different expressions across both interior and exterior applications.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads, grandads, uncles, mentors and father figures who show up in all the ways that matter.

We hope today brings a little time to do something for you, spend it with the people closest to you, and feel just how much all you do is appreciated.
