What Building Materials Are Used in Construction.

What Are Building Materials?

Building materials are any materials that are used for construction purposes, for example, to complete a house building project, to build a wooden extension, or to lay a patio.

The list of the most popular products used in construction is very broad and will surely depend on the building project you are currently working on, building project specifications, requirements, and budget. Below we have carefully selected the list of products that are widely used and chosen.

Our Product Categories

Bricks & Blocks

Our selection of top-quality bricks comes in a choice of different styles, finishes, and a variety of colours and textures. We have bricks to suit almost any contemporary property wall. For more specialised heavy structural brickworks, where greater durability is required, we stock Class A and Class B engineering bricks. We also stock common concrete blocks that are high in thermal conductivity and density values, making them suitable for almost all types of construction.

Cements & Aggregates

Do you need to create effective load-bearing support for pavement and pathways? MGN Builders Merchants has got you covered. We have a great selection of sharp sand, building sand, and ballast. Our sand and aggregates are available in both maxi bag and trade bag sizes. Our wide selection of decorative stones will add an attractive touch to your garden or driveway project, and bags of chippings will help with drainage.

Lintels

Supporting lintels are widely used for apertures in a window or ceiling, to name a few. Our range includes concrete lintels—widely used for timber frames when additional support is required. Do you need to distribute the load evenly? Then supporting padstones will ensure the correct installation and fitting. They are stocked in different sizes and weights.

Building Chemicals

Finish off your project with our range of building and cleaning chemicals. We have a wide selection of jointing, cleaning, and waterproofing solutions for your project. For smooth wall finishes, our jointing compound will fix those lumps, bumps, and blemishes. For sealing, we have a great range of waterproofing agents that can be used for screed and rendering. Just to name a few, browse our full list of building chemicals online.

Metalwork

MGN's selection of metalwork and fixings includes timber joist hangers and heavy-duty strap hangers. These essentials are available in different specifications. Timber joist hangers are available with masonry-supported joist hangers and adjustable timber-to-timber joist hangers. Please browse our metalwork category online to find all the metalwork building materials for your project.

Roofing & Ventilation

Whether you are restoring an old roof or building a new one, MGN Builders Merchants has everything you need to complete your roofing project. We supply a full range of high-quality roofing products and accessories, as well as roof tiles and slates. For flat roof projects, we have an extensive range of fibreglass roofing materials, corrugated sheet roofing products, and roofing felts.

Weatherproofing

It is particularly important to add damp-proofing protection to your project to protect the building from the deterioration of foundations and walls. We have a choice of (DPC) damp-proofing course and (DPM) damp-proofing membrane. These two products will protect the building from moisture ingress and any further damage.

How to Choose the Right Building Products for Your Project?

It can be particularly challenging to choose the right building materials for your construction project. The selection process can be exceptionally complicated and time-consuming for first-time builders who lack construction experience. The information below will guide you through some important criteria to consider when choosing the right building products for your project.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Building Materials

Cost

Cost is the most crucial factor when choosing materials because, in the long run, it will protect your project. Substandard materials may lead to costly restorations sooner, whereas quality materials will serve well for the long term.

Climate

The materials you choose should respond well to the climate where the construction project is taking place. Consider factors like average heat, cold, rainfall, or ventilation.

Durability

Some materials are more resilient to moisture and corrosion, while others may degrade quickly in humid conditions. Choose materials with the durability required for your specific climate conditions.

Aesthetic Appeal

Consider the taste, specifications, and needs of the project. The aesthetic appeal of your project will largely depend on your budget and climate conditions.
