Hanson Building Products

Hanson manufactures a wide range of building materials from facing bricks in over 200 different colours and textures to lightweight, aircrete and aggregate blocks, as well as concrete flooring systems. Landscaping products include decorative aggregates, clay pavers and a wide variety of rockery stones to enhance garden design. Hanson can provide a single

source solution for many products in a wide variety of building projects all backed by the sales support and technical services that is the strength of this company.

Bricks

As the UK’s market leader, Hanson is conscious that your needs are constantly changing and in order to meet your requirements the range has been extended to include a blue brick and high quality, precision tumbled bricks. A wide range of special shapes is also available combining aesthetic appeal with architectural versatility.

Hanson can offer a range of modular units which is produced in standard and non-standard sizes. Modular units provide a visual appearance that is quite distinct from traditional brickwork. These units are being used on many public and commercial buildings to achieve a ‘tiled’ effect, often with continuous bed and perpend joints as opposed to the standard stretcher bond of construction.

Blocks

Hanson is a market leader in the manufacture and supply of Thermalite aircrete blocks and concrete aggregate blocks.

High density party wall blocks and low weight foundation blocks designed for use as a single leaf below ground as an alternative to cavity masonry or trench fill are also available.

Innovative Building Systems

A result of Hanson’s drive for innovation is the Wonderwall specialist cladding system.

The Wonderwall 1 composite panel system comprises a clay brick slip finish attached to a backing panel / carrier sheet which in turn is adhered to a Kingspan board.

Wonderwall combines all the advantages of modern prefabrication with all the appeal of traditional appearance. It can be installed faster than traditionally built masonry to a higher level of quality and is suitable for use as a durable, decorative and thermal insulating finish to external vertical walls. Existing or new build structures that use masonry, dense concrete, modular units, timber or metal frames are all suitable for fixing.

Product Services Department

Hanson offers a technical service providing direct help on technical brick and block issues. The team of full-time advisers receive masonry-related enquiries, primarily received as black and white drawings and processes them as brickwork details through to colour graphics.

Using the latest software, it is possible for architects to supplement their drawings with imagery that illustrates the completed project with details, these are returned in a highly polished and professional format suitable for presentation directly to clients.
