Products and Services - QUINN building products


	Quarry stone, washed sand, gravel, ready mixed concrete and concrete blocks are all produced at our plants close to the site of the original and largest quarry at Derrylin, Co Fermanagh. Our second quarry in Williamstown, Co. Galway was founded in 1977 to supply Galway and the surrounding counties with quarry and concrete products.


	QUINN rooftiles commenced production in 1982 with a purpose built factory at Gortmullen, Derrylin. The first plant was capable of producing up to 6 million tiles annually but due to market demand a decision was taken in 1999 to build a new factory on the existing site, doubling the overall capacity. The new rooftile production facility went into production in 2001 and was subsequently expanded again in 2005. One of the most successful products in the range is the Lakeland Slate Range - a thin profile, leading edge tile that delivers the beauty and character of natural slate with the durability, precision manufacturing and cost effectiveness of concrete tiles. QUINN rooftiles is now a major supplier to the construction sector throughout Ireland.


	The Group began producing prestressed concrete products in 1984 and now manufactures a full range of hollowcore, plate floor, roof units, T-joists and precast concrete stairs for use in a range of domestic and industrial building applications. All of these products are used in a range of domestic and industrial building applications. Prestressed concrete products are designed so that load bearing capacity is maximised with a minimum floor weight and are suitable for use in most types of construction. Products are manufactured to specification and rigorous quality control procedures ensure that consistent standards of quality are maintained.


	Lightweight thermal blocks (Aircrete) offer major advantages within the build process in certain contexts. The QUINN lite facility is the first of its kind in Ireland and now produces a full range of products that are sold throughout the UK and Ireland. QUINN lite blocks are much lighter than conventional concrete, have a faster drying out time and are easier to saw, chase and drill. They allow faster construction times and have an excellent strenght-to-weight ratio along with a fire resistance equal to that of conventional concrete. Architects and builders alike are increasingly turning to Quinn Lite for their building needs. www.quinn-lite.com


	Established in 1994, QUINN Tarmac produces a full range of blacktop products, including hot rolled asphalt, base course macadam, bitumen macadam road base, and wearing course macadam. The plant has a production capacity of over 1,000 tonnes per day and the product can be collected on site or delivered in fully insulated lorries.


	In response to changing market demands in the insulation market, QUINN Therm, at Scotchtown, Ballyconnell, Co. Cavan was commissioned in October 2004 to produce and distribute rigid polyurethane thermal insulation products for the Irish and UK market. These products are used in insulating cavity walls, floors and roofs for commercial, industrial and domestic markets and offer better insulation properties than conventional polystyrene.


	QUINN Lite Pac, Granard, Co. Longford was founded in 1975 to produce and distribute expanded polystyrene thermal insulation products for the construction industry. A large proportion of this product is used in the insulating of cavity walls, floors and roof insulation of commercial, industrial and domestic buildings. The Quinn Group purchased the company in 1994 and in August 2001 Quinn Lite Pac commissioned a new 7000m2 production facility at the same location. The products are used for many applications other than thermal insulation. These include void formers for bridge decks, floatation units for marinas, packaging and lightweight fill for road construction.


	QUINN Cement has been in production since 1989 at its Derrylin site using local raw material from the quarry facilities. Given the increasing demand generated from the construction sector over the years, a second plant was commissioned in 1998. With a combined capacity of over 1.7million tonnes annually, the Group is now a market leader in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
