Introducing PGH Bricks

With the recent introduction of PGH Bricks in New Zealand, CSR Building Products NZ is broadening its product offerings in the local market, providing New Zealand’s building professionals with more choices in innovative, durable, and aesthetic materials.

This transition signals a new era for brick use in New Zealand and builds on the rich history of bricks as a cornerstone of New Zealand construction dating back to the 1800s. If you love the look and quality of Monier Bricks, a household name in New Zealand, you’ll now find the same products and full range rebranded to PGH Bricks.

New Zealand favourites like Crevole, Moondust, Gypsy Rose, Hartlands, Devon, Alpine and Rockhampton are here to stay, offering a variety of textures, colours, and finishes to bring creative visions and timeless projects to life.

Brick’s timeless appeal and versatility makes them appealing to residential and commercial projects. For architects and builders, PGH Bricks delivers strength, reliability, and energy efficiency, meeting New Zealand’s unique environmental challenges.

The natural beauty of bricks means that they don’t need any extra treatment and minimal maintenance. They weather well, are incredibly strong and last for decades — even millennia. Indeed, the Great Wall of China is still impressive after more than 2000 years!

Alongside PGH Bricks, CSR Building Products NZ also includes Bradford Insulation, Cemintel Cladding, Hebel AAC panels and Monier Roof Tiles.

Cemintel Cladding offers innovative, pre-finished fibre cement panels that bring modern aesthetics and durability to both residential and commercial projects. Known for its easy installation and design versatility, Cemintel enhances building exteriors with a contemporary finish that can withstand New Zealand’s diverse climate. Meanwhile, Bradford Insulation provides high-performance insulation solutions that improve energy efficiency and comfort in any building. Bradford products are designed to deliver lasting thermal, acoustic, and fire protection, ensuring that structures remain both sustainable and safe.

Together, Cemintel and Bradford complement the quality of PGH Bricks, offering a comprehensive approach to construction materials that cater to New Zealand’s evolving building needs.
