Arches

Brick Arches have historically been used in TRADITIONAL construction projects for structural, aesthetic & commercial reasons. They give the Designer or Architect greater scope for creativity to get that UNIQUE LOOK that most clients are looking for.

Brick Arches will help to add value to your build & help to break up areas of brickwork and can really show off your windows & doors. They give that added extra “Kerb appeal” when selling on your property.

At TBM we have a vast amount of experience in this area & there are many types of ARCHES we supply, but the main 4 are FLAT GAUGED, SEGMENTAL, SEMI-CIRCULAR & SEMI-ELLIPTICAL.

The main different ways of having these produced are:

• Loose – Built in on site in traditional methods
• Lightweight Block Backed – Built on site using off-site made sections
• Pre-Fabricated – Precision cut & factory bonded onto LINTELS (Concrete or Steel)
• Pre-Formed onto lightweight boarding that can incorporate formers.

The PRE-FABRICATED arches we supply are becoming more popular on Self-Build, Refurbishment, Retail, Education & Commercial projects. The benefits of this type of ARCH construction are as follows:

• Time saving to install
• Skilled & experienced labour not required
• Consistency in the product & the final overall look
• No need for a LINTEL
• Structurally sound
• Very complicated designs available.
