Bristile Roofing was delighted with results from the recent HIA Hunter Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards where a home featuring Bristile Roofing roof tiles took out one of the industry’s highest recognitions - the HIA Hunter Display Home of the Year award.
The awards were held by the Housing Industry Association - Australia’s peak industry body in the residential building sector and celebrate innovation in craftsmanship and excellence in construction, design and housing technology amongst members in all sectors of the residential building industry.
Judged by a highly experienced team of building experts, the awards acknowledge the talent of the builders, designers, product manufacturers and building companies involved in the construction of quality houses, apartments, renovations and outdoor projects. The awards also showcase the latest trends in residential building and the best residential building products from across Australia. Announced on 13 October 2012, the awards were split by region and category according to the type of development and were held at the Western Suburbs Leagues Club in New Lambton before a large audience of industry professionals.
The winning design ‘Phoenix’ was developed by one of Australia’s largest and most respected residential builders, Metricon and also took out the Display Home Over $300,001 award. Phoenix is a luxurious home largely focussed on open plan living with the family in mind and a high standard of excellence is evident throughout. From the intelligent floor plan which perfectly positions the five bedrooms and two bathrooms around living spaces, to its sense of harmony and tranquillity and intricate detailing and form, the Phoenix sets a new benchmark for residential home design. Judges praised the meticulous attention to detail and the fastidious standards of the home’s finish which are complemented perfectly by the Bristile Roofing ‘Classic’ range of concrete roof tiles.
Commenting on the win, Bristile Roofing Sales and Marketing Coordinator Mr Michael Monro stated “the Phoenix by Metricon is another example of the unmistakable style and attention to detail which has made Metricon a household name. Bristile Roofing is proud to be working with high calibre home builders such as Metricon who have a history of creating quality, innovative and award winning homes for Australian families.”
Used in the project for their aesthetic and functional advantages, Bristile Roofing roof tiles also have the additional benefits of thermal mass, high solar reflectivity, low embodied energy and natural durability helping to give the home a great energy efficiency rating.
Mr Monro concluded “It’s no wonder this impressive home took out the top award. It embodies great contemporary design by perfectly combining innovation with style, liveability and functionality. Bristile Roofing is honoured and thrilled to have been chosen to provide the perfect finishing touch to this brilliant home.”
