Tobermore\u2019s premium concrete paving \u2018Braemar\u2019 was awarded \u2018Best Exterior Product\u2019 at the Architects Choice Awards 2022.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Showcasing at the annual Architecture & Building Expo in the RDS Dublin, Braemar<\/a> was a main feature of Tobermore\u2019s exhibition space. The block paving was laid on the floor of the stand in a striking, four colour mix. The premium granite aesthetic caught the eye of many, including the judges of the Architects Choice Awards.<\/p>\n

Braemar has become a firm favourite with specifiers due to its premium granite aesthetic and on-trend colour palette. Team Tobermore impressed the judges by describing the world-class manufacturing process that goes into producing a high-end concrete product like Braemar. Its two distinctive finishes are achieved through an innovative diamond grinding process.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, it was Braemar\u2019s sustainability credentials that won the judges over. As part of Tobermore\u2019s commitment to sustainable manufacturing, the company published a library of Environmental Product Declarations<\/a> (EPDs). EPDs enable architects to compare the environmental impact of different materials and make informed decisions about which to choose for their project.<\/p>\n

Managing Director and Owner of Tobermore, David Henderson commented on the win:<\/h4>\n

\u201cWe are absolutely delighted that Braemar has won \u2018Best Exterior Product\u2019 at the Architects Choice Awards. Specifiers love Braemar\u2019s high-end granite look, and it is a popular choice for public realm schemes including Leeds City Centre. We are experiencing a tremendous amount of Braemar enquiries due to the rising costs, longer lead times and environmental implications of importing Chinese natural granite.\u201d<\/p>\n
