Tropical applications
Temperature
The elevated tropical house with louvered windows and underfloor space is a thing of the past. Today Territorians seek a domestic environment with complete internal climate control. Consequently optimum insulation is demanded. We believe insulbricks provide the most economic and effective protection against extreme temperatures.
Cyclones
InsulBrick construction results in a solid concrete wall from footings to truss level. Its strength is consolidated by the inclusion of reinforcement steel rods at regular intervals according to engineering requirements. With insulbrick construction all engineering specifications for all wind categories are provided. [subject to design]
Termites
The insulbrick system offers no attraction or nourishment for termites. With the use of steel trusses timber can be totally eradicated, thus eliminating any threat of termite infestation.
