The Kerryman (South Kerry Edition)
Sturdy and decorative solutions at Riordan Concrete
NOW that spring has finally arrived our thoughts immediately turn to the great outdoors and all those jobs we promised would be started once the fine weather arrived. Well, it’s here now and it’s time to get started. If your outdoor work this spring consists of something sturdy, decorative and reliable, then you need to get in touch with John Riordan Concrete in Glenbeigh to see the vast range of products they have to offer.
Brick paving and Indian sandstone paving are proving hugely popular with customers right now because of their durability and varying range of colours. Riordan’s also stock a large range of building stone that is sourced from all over the country and is ideal for facing house fronts and fireplaces: Liscannor Mohar, Lough Liscannor, Kilkenny Limestone and Donegal Quartz (available in brown and grey) are just some of the attractive stone products available. ‘Building Brick’ is also a popular alternative to facing fire places and Riordan’s keep a large selection of Building Brick in various colours and finishes in the yard where customers can also browse some beautiful selections of cobble sets, stylish garden furniture, building stone, granite paving, decorative stone and mulch.
It was back in 1984 while working in the building trade that John Riordan first discovered an opportunity to develop precast concrete products like lintels, sills and kerbing. As the years went by and the business grew, John went into making septic tanks and throughout the 1990s and 2000s, he hired more staff and supplied concrete products all over the county and neighbouring counties.
But John was also keen to diversify his product range and Riordan Concrete now make precast post and panel concrete fencing - which offers great shelter, privacy and low maintenance as it replaces the need for hedging. Fencing also comes in a number of finishes from plain smooth to rock face and even a ‘timber-lap finish’ which imitates real timber fencing, but doesn’t rot!
