Game-Changing Blocks

The biggest sporting events in the calendar can attract thousands of spectators – and ambitious designs. In the Capital alone, this has given rise to the undulating profile of the London Aquatics Centre and the instantly recognisable grounds of Wimbledon’s Centre Court. But in order to construct memorable structures like these, superior building materials are needed.

The same goes for luxury hotels. While they don’t play host to thousands at a time, their 5-star quality starts from the ground up.

Small wonder then, that many leisure and stadia projects turn to us to provide quality concrete blockwork solutions. Our products have helped to form exceptional arenas including the London Olympic Stadium, Wembley Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. And beneath the glittering surface of London’s Bulgari Hotel and Cambridge’s Turing Lock are yet more of our excellent concrete units.

Commonly Used Products

Our leading concrete block, Lignacite Paint Grade, is an ideal option for developments such as these. Made with recycled wood particles, they boast fantastic fire and sound insulation. We can also offer this block with increased recycled content. Take a look at our Lignacite ECO range to find out more.

For truly spacious structures, our Lignacrete range is another excellent choice. High-strength and robust, it is ideal for high-capacity loadbearing walls.
