Subway Food Chain Use Austech Building Products’ CraftStone

The Subway food chain has been one of the fastest growing franchises in the world with over 35,000 restaurants in 98 countries and territories. Austech Building Products supplied one of its premium products, CraftStone, to Subway in Ballina Northern NSW. An eye-catching feature wall was created using around 6m² of Stacked Ledgestone Sunset from the CraftStone range. Subway is another major international company that have decided to use CraftStone in their Australian stores as the innovative lightweight replica looks and feels like the real thing - without the price tag.

As the numbers continue to roll through to door at the Ballina outlet, the CraftStone feature wall has sparked interest amongst the public and finishes off the interior design with a touch of elegance. CraftStone is available Australia wide through Austech Building Products. Visit the Austech website to contact your nearest office. There are a variety of profiles and colours to choose from in the CraftStone Range to suit existing or new constructions.

CraftStone comes with a 25 year warranty so you can rest assured knowing you've purchased quality. Stacked stone, chosen by Subway, is one of the best ways to ornament a home without breaking the bank. To pull this off, stone cladding, a fashionable method used by many architects is used to add vibrance to a lifeless structure. Builders stack these stones to recreate nature's natural stone walls seen in waterfalls and cliffs. Stacked stones are generally used for aesthetic purposes but they are also known to be able to last a long time.

To include CraftStone into your next project, whether it is residential or commercial, just make an enquiry to the team at Austech. You can also view locations where CraftStone has been installed at the Austech website.

Functional Gable Vents

Gable Vents are often seen as a cost effective simple way to improve the exterior appearance of a home, however they also play an important function in home ventilation and energy efficiency.

Gable Vents offer a striking design accent for your home with a deep wood grain finish for the appearance of real wood without the maintenance.

With a number of shapes to fit all designs, our Gable Vents and Windows add quality and enhance the look and functionality of any building.

Austech offers many features with their gable vents that make installation simple and improve efficiency. Every Gable Vent comes with a removable template for a snug fit, a large flange for easy installation, 75mm J channel for superior trimming access and the patented Duraflo Drip Channel that directs water out and over external cladding.

While Gable Vents are great to look at, they also provide vital ventilation for attic spaces that improve a home's comfort and reduce condensation.

Poor ventilation can cause roof insulation to become damp from condensation, which renders it ineffective. Condensation can also lead to rotting roof frames and ceilings, plus the peeling of exterior paint and damage to internal ceilings and walls.

Greg Patrick, Austech's General Manager says, "To avoid problems with condensation and inefficient insulation, Austech recommends that attic temperatures be similar to those outside. One of the easiest ways to do this is with a simple passive ventilation system using Gable Vents."

The benefit of a passive ventilation system means that once installed, nature and physics work together to ventilate a roof space, not electricity, saving home owners money.

All Austech Gable Vents also come with built in insect prevention system, to stop insects or vermin entering the attic space through the Gable Vent.

Austech also offers a range of Gable Windows to complement the vents with similar styles and sizes. The windows provide maximum light performance and add aesthetic appeal to the interior and exterior of any home.
