Affordability

Today’s buyers are looking for a solid value in the homes they purchase. With Boral®, you can offer customers the ultimate in exterior cladding value. Homes built with clay brick are virtually maintenance free, requiring no paint or siding touch ups and are impervious to rot and mold. A solid brick veneer provides a strong barrier to most weathering conditions for a safe, worry-free home.

 

Style And Comfort

Style and beauty are very important to homebuyers. Boral’s 23 manufacturing plants produce a wide range of color and texture choices to please any palette preference. Only Boral offers specialty products like 17th Century® brick and PastelCote®. And clay brick helps insulate against outside noise, so every home you build with Boral brick will be quieter, which is particularly relevant when square footage and lot sizes are reduced.

 

Energy Efficiency

Boral’s products are energy efficient. Clay brick provides thermal mass, which slows and controls the transfer of temperature differentials from the exterior to the interior of the home. In addition, brick is installed with a one-inch pocket of air space that insulates the home from temperature and moisture transfer. As a result, your buyers will enjoy lower energy bills throughout the year.

Boral® Pavers will never fade

 

 

Sustainability

Boral leads the brick industry in its commitment to sustainable manufacturing. The company is a founding member of the Climate Registry, a sponsor of Earthcraft House, and a member of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). Boral’s facilities harvest clay locally; manufacture to strict guidelines for emissions reduction and elimination, and with its wide network of plants, the company can supply most markets with locally manufactured products.

 

Boral’s manufacturing facility in Terre Haute, Indiana has earned Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification. The company’s two newest plants are some of the first brick manufacturing plants to fuel brick kilns using captured methane from local landfills. Boral also has a three-tier strategy for the use of renewable fuels throughout its plant network.

 

Boral® offers over 150 brick colors and textures.
