December Newsletter

Thank God, it's Christmas

After a hectic last 12 months, Christmas is apon us once again. It's a time to take stock of what we have achieved over the last year, and reflect on where are going and what have we learnt.

From a personal point of view, nothing is more important than family and the good health to enjoy them. Sometimes that gets lost in the moment when we are all madly going about our business. I think a life well lived is one with few regrets.

Our best wishes go out to you for a Merry Xmas. Play safe, drive safe and live to tell the tale.

We'll be closed from Thursday 23rd Dec until Monday 10th of January.  

Feature Schist natural stone panels

It's that time of the year again. Even on these long summer nights it can get a bit cold. Warm up with an outdoor fireplace. These are a real focal point of any out door area and can be covered with any number of claddings. As you'd image we are partial to a bit of stone cladding on them. In this case they have used Piha Black Feature Schist panels.  To see more images of projects using Feature Schist panels click here.

More Piha Black Feature Schist

This is a recently completed house in Albany. Feature Schist gives a modern take on traditional stone walls. The owners chose Piha Black to complement the colour palette of the house. To add drama, the stone wall is continued through the front wall of the house to stunning effect. To find out more about Feature Schist click here.
