Belmont Hall

Located in Antrim with full site completion expected in 2025, Belmont Hall is one of the newest developments in the area.

With easy access to the M2 and situated within close proximity to local schools, leisure facilities and shopping, Belmont is an ideal place to live. This environmentally sensitive development also offers immediate access to a range of parks, walkways and playing fields. 

The Challenge 

To create a unique and environmentally conscious housing development that was sympathetic to its natural surroundings. 

Belmont Hall aimed to establish itself as a relaxed and environmentally conscious development, paying homage to its natural surroundings, particularly the picturesque Six Mile Water River.  

The procurement of a diverse range of facing brick in strong vibrant colours was a top priority for Belmont Hall. The goal was to offer homes with a range of finishes, fostering a sense of individuality and departure from uniformity.  

Another important consideration for this project was budget. When compared to clay brick, Tobermore Facing Brick was far more competitive. In addition to this, the availability of stock ensured prompt delivery to meet tight project timelines. 

The Solution

A unique development was achieved by utilising Tobermore Country Stone walling alongside Tobermore Kingston and Lansdowne facing brick ranges. 

To guarantee that Belmont Hall respected the natural environment that surrounds it, collaborating with a company committed to minimising environmental impact was paramount. Tobermore has consistently upheld responsible manufacturing practices aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of its operations. Comprehensive and reliable environmental performance data is readily available for all Tobermore products. These Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) undergo independent verification to ensure the accuracy of each product’s environmental performance. 

Antrim Construction Company created a distinctive development for the significant 400 house site by incorporating a variety of colours of Tobermore facing brick in both Lansdowne and Kingston ranges, along with Slate Country Stone walling. After considering clay and various concrete alternatives, Belmont chose Tobermore due to the quality product and range of colours available. 

The use of vibrant shades Cottage Red, Golden, Charcoal and Slate amplified individuality in this project through the complementary contrast of colour. Additionally, the utilisation of various finishes of facing brick further enhanced the development’s character. Initially unaware of Tobermore Country Stone, Belmont expressed interest in incorporating a split stone product into their project. Following an on-site visit and discussions with Belmont Homes foreman, Tobermore was able to provide a quote alongside a sample panel of products on site. As a result, Belmont Homes decided to include Country Stone Walling alongside Tobermore Facing Bricks.  

Tobermore was able to offer Belmont Homes a competitive price point, promise of availability and an unrivalled customer service throughout the project.
