Imperial matches bricks for restoration
Imperial Brickshas supplied bricks for a new
structure within an 18thcentury National Trust
listed property. Quarry Bank Mill in Styal,
Cheshire, was a complete industrial community
built around a cotton mill in the Cheshire
countryside. Imperial Bricks was approached to
provide bricks for the new lift shaft to match the existing brickwork
around the lift shaft area. Brick matching is a service offered by
Imperial – if stock bricks can’t offer a close match, it’s possible to have
a custom product created. The brick matching service will compare
colour, size, texture and weathering to produce an exact match.

been chosen for a multi-million-pound project set to
transform the transport links across Northern Ireland.
Danny Harkin Managing Director of D. Harkin & Co
explains the reasons for the selection of Roofshield:
“We chose Roofshield because of its superior air
permeability, which removes the need for any additional ventilation and
assures comprehensive protection for the new hub facility.” The use of
Roofshield can lead to savings in labour and material costs, due to no
VCL being required.
