Mettalix
The Metallix range, from Austral Bricks , is a face brick designed to standout as a result of its glistening sheen. Bricks have benefits such as longevity, strength, thermal/acoustic insulation and a sense of security and strength.
According to Austral Bricks, the Metallix range of bricks and new ranges such as Expressions and Principles were developed to modernise brick, an age old building material. The Metallix range of bricks is suitable for composite façades and bolder designs.
The Metallix range of bricks is available in four colours such as bronze, nickel, platinum and copper. The colour palette offers a quartz-like effect when the sun hits it. This unique change, depending on lighting combined with the colour selection contrasts well with materials such as metal and glass commonly used in today’s façades.
The Metallix range of bricks is suitable for internal and external uses and is rated for use in coastal environments where the effects of wind borne salt spray can affect other products.

ESSENTIALS
Indulgence
Austral Bricks introduces its new Indulgence range of stylish bricks inspired by emerging colour trends in building and brick design.
Measuring 230mm x 110mm x 76mm, the Indulgence range includes Biscotti, Truffle and Praline bricks, all in subtle colours. Developed with the contemporary builder and homeowner in mind, the new Indulgence bricks range of softer browns, taupe and off whites embraces textured, neutral tones to complement modern residential and commercial developments. Embracing the growing trend in commercial and residential design towards mixing brick combinations, the colours in the Indulgence range also blend perfectly with each other.
Marketing Manager for Austral Bricks Victoria, Richard West explains that the neutral colours in the new Indulgence range are a twist on typical clay colours and meet the contemporary demands of leading edge designers to suit modern composite designs.
Specially developed so the body colour of each brick is consistent with the surface colour, the Indulgence range assures inherent durability and low maintenance as well as the energy saving benefits of thermal mass due to the natural density of clay bricks.
Richard West adds that the neutral colours harmonise with feature materials such as stone, steel, timber and render. The softer palettes also work well with the strong colours of glazed designer bricks, such as those in Austral’s Elements range, together creating an elegant, distinctive look.
Bricks being a highly energy efficient and cost effective building material, which reduces temperature fluctuations and helps a home stay warm in winter or cool in summer, the temperature stability ultimately reduces the need for artificial heating and cooling, resulting in lower energy bills and greenhouse gas emissions.
Austral Bricks is part of the Brickworks Building Products Group, one of Australia’s largest manufacturers of bricks, pavers, masonry blocks, retaining wall systems, roof tiles, precast concrete panels, façade systems and landscaping products.
Pavilion
Austral Bricks has added life to their popular Pavilion range of clay bricks with the release of three new eye catching and vibrant colours.
The Pavilion bricks are double height (230 x 110 x 162mm) and have become increasingly popular due to the attractive fashion colours of the existing range. Home builders also appreciate the efficiency of laying double height bricks, as they can save time and money,
The new colours are Manali, a pastel mix of white and pink hues, Kandahar a creamy gold and Shimla an eclectic mix of red flame, apricot and dark grey, all in keeping with the stone built empires of India’s highlands.
Launching the new selection, Austral Bricks general manager sales and marketing Graham Kerby says there has been a demand for sophisticated colours to be added for imaginative residential architecture with the Pavilion range.
“Inspired by the exotic lifestyles of India’s Maharajas, the Pavilion range is a viable alternative to costly cement rendering because of the colour spectrum now available.
“We think the vibrant colours will be well accepted by people who are building the family home and by architects and designers who will be able to use the colours to blend with the style of architecture and other components of the construction for their designs” Kerby says.
The new Pavilion colours join Mandalay a delightful limestone colour, Kashmir a similar colour with a different texture and Jaipur a blend of gold and white.
