Design first
Every project with masonry supplier Viblock is now easier, more intuitive and more inspiring. Here’s why.
Viblock has been quietly transforming. It has invested in new manufacturing technology, expanded its footprint in Otautahi Christchurch, and extended its reach with architects and builders across the country. The company is evolving with a refreshed brand and product naming system, making working with Viblock simpler and more creative than ever.
Viblock now communicates with its customers more practically.
Clearer product categories
The entire range is grouped into three easy-to-understand types.
• Structural: Load-bearing concrete blocks.
• Bricks: Products designed to be seen.
• Landscaping: The elements that define courtyards and driveways.
Simplified colour ranges
This gives you more clarity around aesthetics, availability and application.
• Standard: These are oxide-based colours developed for everyday use.
• Premium: With rich tonal variation and a strong connection to Aotearoa New Zealand’s geology.
• Custom: For orders over 150sqm, Viblock offers a fully customised colour service.
Straightforward brick naming
Viblock has updated its brick naming system to help you more easily understand proportions, compare products and select the right fit for your project. The new names show each brick’s width in millimetres, then add a descriptive term based on shape or scale – for example, 220 Standard or 390 Half.
Easier paving selection
Viblock has simplified the naming and coding of its paving products, making it easier to identify and specify the correct format.
Textures made simple
Surface treatments play a huge role in how a wall looks and feels, as well as how it weathers over time. Treatments such as fluted, honed, split-face, textured and rumbled are now consistently named and described across product catalogues, website and specification tools.
Ultimately, this rebrand is about making things easier for you. Whether you’re an architect, builder, developer or homeowner. This isn’t a change to the company’s values or its manufacturing processes, so you can still count on the things that matter most: craft, precision and care. Want more details?
