The Terra Nova Retirement Village forms part of a major project being built by Stellor which includes six other estates in Trichardt – Secunda, Mpumalanga. This first-class retirement estate already has some completed units and will eventually promise to provide a carefree retirement to the more active elderly, independent individuals and the elderly in need of assistance.
For such a fine establishment only the best facebrick will do therefore an all time Federale Stene favourite facebrick was selected for the project – the Rooibos Travetine (FBS). Not only does this low-maintenance product feature a beautiful collection of reddish hues, it allows for the creative combination between other materials too such as natural stone, wood and metal to form a completed stylish finish to each unit.
In conclusion, clay bricks are not only appealing to the eye, they are also unmatched in the building industry. This statement is comfortably supported by history. A quick Google search will show results of clay brick buildings and structures that were built thousands of years ago and still stand tall to this day.
