Architectural Features
Chimneys
Our reproduction chimneys can be produced specifically for any building project. These realistic lightweight architectural features can be manufactured in a wide range of finishes including brick effect, stone effect, reconstituted stone and roughcast render. We can also design to match pitch, texture, colour, pots, capping and leading as required. The chimneys have been independently tested and meet strict safety and quality guidelines.
Our chimneys are used by national house builders and are marketed exclusively by our distributor. Please contact us for details.

Brick Effect Cladding, Chimneys, Window Features
Grp brick effect cladding, grp stone effect cills, grp chimney and pots
GRP Building Products were approached to supply brickwork cladding panels, stone effect window sills, plinth, chimney and pots for this special project at the Chelsea Flower Show.
The structure is a replica of one of engineer Thomas Telford’s famous Holyhead to London Toll Houses. Telford & Wrekin Council chose the design for Chelsea to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Thomas Telford’s birth.
It was an ideal project to show off the lightweight, quick to assemble products to a large audience. No one could tell that the brick was not real – even the judges were fooled!
The design won a Silver Flora award.
