With Green Guide ratings becoming a prerequisite for many public sector-funded projects, including social housing and new build schools and academies, then independent verification of EnviroMasonry by BRE Global recognises the work undertaken by Bradstone Structural Solutions to enhance the environmental credentials of its products.
EnviroMasonry Textured, Split, Fairfaced and Polished have all been rated at A+ or A for external walls as either an outer or an inner leaf. Both Fairfaced and Textured EnviroMasonry are also rated A for use as internal wall elements, with EnviroMasonry Polished blockwork being C rated in this application. The external and internal applications both offer a highly aesthetic alternative to traditional brick or blockwork.
EnviroMasonry is manufactured to contain up to 65% secondary and recycled aggregates and cement replacement materials. Since its introduction, EnviroMasonry has proved highly popular with specifiers seeking an outstanding structural walling product, with proven sustainability.
As part of Aggregate Industries, the product is also manufactured in factories that have been assessed to both BS EN 9001 and 14001 and the company also holds BS EN 6001 for Responsible Sourcing from BRE Global, which contributes additional credits in schemes such as The Code for Sustainable Homes.
