With the world at a crossroads in dealing with climate change, the construction sector is playing an increasingly important role in providing even more sustainable solutions for both homes and commercial buildings. In this article, Ibstock looks at how the marketplace is responding to these challenges and how in particular, retrofitting buildings in the UK is becoming progressively important in the drive to improve energy efficiency.

Ibstock has made a large donation of supplies to Walsall College to support their students during the new college year.

At Ibstock, we are proud to be a founding member of the Construction Inclusion Coalition (CIC). This important group is working to make the construction industry more inclusive and welcoming for everyone.

Is your sloping land unusable? Are your current flood defences lacking durability? Is your existing retaining wall failing to enhance your property's appearance? If you answered yes to any of these, it might be time to consider a new concrete retaining wall system.

Retaining walls are an essential solution for maximizing usable space, especially in areas with challenging terrains. They offer a practical way to create level ground for construction where space is limited. Concrete retaining walls are particularly effective for adding terraces and enhancing landscaping, making them a popular choice for high-end developments.
