Home > Enclosure > Cladding > Masonry Veneer Cladding > Brickwork - masonry veneer cladding Firth 10 Series Plaster Veneer Firth has currently engaged in an environmental assessment of its products with Greenbuild. Work is in progress and results will be published shortly.Firth 10-Series blocks are large format, 390mm x 190mm x 90mm, hollow core blocks. They are laid to provide a solid veneer fixed to a timber frame while leaving a 40mm cavity between the two, in a similar approach to brick veneer. The veneer cavity system allows moisture to escape between the veneer and the framing. The laid blocks form a solid substrate that is subsequently plastered and coated.

Firth 10-Series Plaster Veneer provides an ideal way to create a durable, monolithic plastered finish on homes and commercial developments.
Larger format than bricks resulting in speed and efficiency. 10-Series blocks form a flatter, more consistent surface. A coarse exterior face aids plaster adhesion. Low maintenance. Durable. Excellent acoustic qualities. Attractive cladding. Security and protection of a veneer cavity system that allows moisture to escape between the veneer and the framing, avoiding the risk of moisture becoming trapped and the timber framing not drying out.
Manufactured in concrete; an inert material comprising aggregates, sand, cement, water, additives and colourants. Aggregates and sand are sourced close to manufacturing locations. Cement is New Zealand made. No toxic preservatives required for preventing rot. Firth is committed to sustainability in concrete manufacture and distribution, including the recycling of surplus raw materials, water and leftover concrete.
