## Residential 

New: Vendome pavers manufactured by Oldcastle Architectural’s Canadian subsidiary, Permacon, and Belgard Hardscape pavers from our United States-manufactured Old World Collection were used in the driveway of this construction project in Quebec, Canada, helping to blend the new property into a neighbourhood where houses have been established for nearly a century. The pavers of the driveway are intended to replicate old streets paved with granite cobblestones. 

RMI: Quester is the number one builders merchants in Austria with a prime focus on professional contractors. In summer 2012 they opened a highly energy efficient tile store in Wien-Auhof (shown) in co-operation with the sanitary wholesalers SHT. 

## Non-residential 

New: The uGate, a cantilever sliding gate made of aluminum which can be operated by hand or mechanically, was introduced by Heras, the Netherlands- based outdoor security specialist, in June 2012. This gate has maximum dimensions of 12 metres width and 2.5 metres height, making it suitable for many different applications. This picture shows a uGate at a BMW dealer in Lochristi, Belgium. Heras distributes gates and fences throughout Europe. 

RMI: The Monarch 1 building in The Hague was the first major renovated building in the Netherlands to receive BREEAM sustainability certification, the world’s foremost environmental assessment method and rating system for buildings. The building was selectively deconstructed to the concrete skeleton and rebuilt. To preserve climate control of the building 1,000 solar shading elements were mounted on the facade; the horizontal profiles in the system were developed by AVZ and the complete screens were assembled by Smits Rolluiken, both part of Europe Products’ Shutters & Awnings business. Europe Materials’ Cementbouw business supplied the concrete for the renovation. 

## Infrastructure 

New: The transformation into a motorway of the E18 road is one of the most extensive road projects ever in Finland and is due to open in 2015. The 53 kilometres Koskenkylä section (shown) will have six interchanges and 68 new bridges. Rudus, Europe Materials’ Finnish aggregates and readymixed concrete subsidiary, will be delivering 150,000 m³ of concrete and concrete products (pipes, wells, railings) to this project.
