Quality In The Bag

Retail spaces can be practical and uniform, or really push the boundaries with larger-than-life designs. But whether you’re constructing a destination shopping centre or capitalising on the need for quick gratification, our high-performing concrete blocks can help.

Manufactured from our factories fills sprawling retail structures such as London’s Westfield Shopping Centre. With 1.9 million square feet of retail and leisure space and 1.1 million square feet of office area, our products supplied much-needed strength with carbon-saving benefits.

Retail parks in Cambridge and Ipswich have also reaped the rewards of our quality concrete blocks, as have individual stores. IKEA Hammersmith, Homebase Ltd in Cambridge and Thetford’s KFC and Costa are just a handful of examples where our range met specifiers’ demands.

Commonly Used Products

Our leading Lignacite concrete blocks are a regular component in many retail structures. Their recycled wood content not only contributes towards sustainability targets but also offers excellent fire resistance. Unlike dense aggregate concrete blocks, which shatter at very high temperatures, the wood locked up in the matrix of Lignacite concrete blocks means they will smoulder, not burn or crumble.

Our range of ECO 50 and ECO 70 Lignacite blocks feature higher levels of recycled content, lowering carbon embodiment and helping you to hit your sustainability targets.
