BUILDING
PROTECTING AND ENHANCING WHERE WE LIVE AND WORK
BUILDING IT BETTER
Enabling stronger, safer, faster building with a longer life and more sustainable construction
Sustainable
The low energy fabrication of our materials and potential for recycling support sustainable construction.
Durable
We strengthen concrete, improve drainage, repel the elements and increase a building’s lifetime in countless ways.
Cost efficient
Lightness during transport, ease of installation, simple storage and durability all bring building costs down.
Safer building
By removing the need for traditional materials such as steel mesh reinforcement, building sites become safer
BUILDING APPLICATIONS
How Low & Bonar products help the building and construction industry achieve more
Air filtration
Colback’s use as a filter medium not only helps maintain indoor air quality but also cuts energy consumption by creating filters with a low pressure drop.
VISIT BONARPURE
Architectural
Our coated hi-tech membranes offer architects the opportunity to enclose space in revolutionary ways, with striking curves and profiles all but impossible via traditional materials.
VISIT MEHGIES
Carriers and reinforcement
Our Colback fabric is used the world over whenever there’s a need for the highest standard membranes for roofs and walls requiring vapour and moisture control.
VISIT BONARBUILT
Drainage solutions
Enkadrain polymeric mats offer exceptional drainage performance. Used vertically they drain moisture in sub surface foundation walls. For horizontal applications they can lie perfectly flat. In green roofs they manage stormwater dispersion while retaining the right moisture levels to keep vegetation healthy.
VISIT BONARBUILT
Flooring
Concrete hardstanding at airports, internal floors, barriers, train sleepers and more all benefit from Adfil fibres. They inhibit shrinkage and settlement cracking, and improve impact resistance and lifespan.
VISIT ADFIL
Green roof systems
The Xeroflor System is a green roof solution that enables the easy design and installation of extensive green roofs for virtually any roof construction, including those with a low load-bearing capacity.
VISIT XEROFLOR
Groundwork construction
Drainage mats beneath floor slabs reduce cracking. Geocomposites create stress relief slip joints between adjacent foundations, and are used for lost formwork. Geogrids and geotextiles are used in trust relief walls.
VISIT ENKA SOLUTIONS
Precast Concrete
When our synthetic fibres are added to concrete they reduce cracking and shrinkage, add strength and extend lifespan. By removing the need for steel reinforcement they also reduce weight and simplify construction, making the building of internal and external floors, or manufacture of pre-cast concrete panels, safer, easier and faster.
VISIT ADFIL
Sound control
In hospitals, offices, hotels and other buildings, noise is a distraction, even a danger. Our Enkamat and Enkasonic products sit beneath flooring to reduce sound transmission between floors or fill roof cavities to cut environmental noise.
VISIT BONARBUILT
Transportation infrastructure
Enkamat products dampen the vibrations that vehicles, trains and trams inflict on nearby buildings. Our geosynthetics reinforce weak soils beneath access roads, car parks and pedestrian areas within urban development.
VISIT ENKA SOLUTIONS
Ventilation solutions
Our ventilation solutions for roofs, sidewalls and sub-surface building envelopes create healthier and more sustainable buildings, managing temperature change and humidity.
