Boral Designerblock provides a dynamic range of colours and face textures to
create internal and external walls with unique architectural character.
ADVANTAGES
Boral designerblock is manufactured with a pre-sealing additive designed to
reduce water absorption, and hence reduce the chance of efflorescence, mould
and mild staining. To be effective, the pre-sealed block must be laid in mortar
containing the Boral recommended mortar additive.
FACE TEXTURES
Smooth
Smooth
Face - a finely textured finish created through the standard
moulding process (Prices as shown)
Split Faced
Split
Face - The splitting process produces a bold textured, exposed
aggregate finish.
Honed
Honed
Face - the honing process grinds 2-3mm off the product surface.
This produces a matt finish with soft yet accentuated colour and aggregate
matrix. This finish contrasts well with Polished blockwork (price is extra)
Shot-Blast
Shot-Blast
Face - This process exposes the aggregates, leaving them slightly
proud of the matrix. Texturing can be varied from a light dusting that just
exposes the aggregates to a deeper, more prominent texture. Additionally
a template or mask can be placed over areas of the product during shot-blasting,
to achieve a unique finish known as 'Mask-and-Blast' (price is extra)
Polished
Polished
Face - This involves grinding back the block face and buffing to
a satin finish. Polishing enriches the colour and maximizes the contrast
between aggregates and matrix material to produce a visually exciting finish.
Polished blocks are ideal for feature walls, entrance ways, trim and banding.
* Ends - Honed, Shot-Blast or Polished finishes are available on the end
of blocks for corners, openings and free ends (price is extra)
COLOURS
In consultation with designers, over 50 unique colour and texture possibilities
have been specially crafted to meet all of your project needs.
