Kreitmaker is very proud and honoured to be a major supporter of the 2022 OAA Conference.
The company’s involvement will include presenting our new “Brick is Back” live 60-minute session as well as in our 45-minute virtual session .
Kreitmaker has become Canada’s premier source for clay, concrete, and natural stone building products, representing some of the world’s best brands, and offering new bold looks from across the globe to the Canadian building industry.
This year, it will be introducing it's new Kreitmaker idea space, in Toronto’s Designers Walk District. This idea space has been created to help architects and designers feel comfortable and help them visualize how our products will look in their next project. At idea space, you will discover brands and collections of bricks from around the world that can be used in the modern era, with contemporary twists.
The brands that we have chosen to represent have been long-time leaders in innovation, design, colour, and style. Along with this, they have also been working hard in making sure environmental sustainability is all top of mind with everything they do, minimizing the environmental impact of the production processes.
Kretimaker is also enthusiastic about its “Brick is Back” session, in which it will discuss how brick has been used for thousands of years, dating back to 7000 BC, which makes it one of the oldest-known building materials. Experts will be talking about the colours that are available, ranging from classic reds, oranges, and yellows to more currently trending black, grey, and white tones. Size and texture have allowed designers and architects to be bold with their designs–with this in mind, we will be showing all the different brick sizes, textures, and brick face finishes available.
Kreitmaker is very excited to introduce everyone to how our brick manufacturers are inspiring climate action and how it can support high-profile restoration projects and unique housing developments, as well as other residential, retail, and commercial projects.
