Did you know that on average Ibstock bricks only travel 80 miles from their point of manufacture to their end use? Now Ibstock has launched a range of unfired earth bricks to provide an alternative to concrete blocks for the sustainably minded. The Ecoterre range is mainly intended for internal non-load bearing applications. Unfired clay bricks have excellent sustainability credentials; low energy input, very low waste, are fully recyclable and Ecoterre is manufactured in the UK. When incorporated into a building they give thermal mass and acoustic insulation, inhibit condensation and regulate the relative humidity of the atmosphere.
