 Clay
Bricks
A building block made from a mix of unfired
clay and straw. This material is generally used in low-impact housing
applications, of small scale. However the concept of sun-baked clay
building materials has been around for millennia and could surely
transcend the
small-scale shelter. 
 Claytec®
A
building block made from a mix of unfired clay, a woven Jute textile
and bamboo. The lattice of jute and bamboo give the clay panel good
structural integrity whilst reducing the weight. This material is
generally used in low-impact housing applications, for internal partitioning.
The material has great acoustic and thermal insulation properties.

 Duratext®
A surfacing material which can be used
in both exterior and interior applications.
Based on a fibre-cement compound which uses a proportion of recycled
fibres to manufacture. Available in a range of sizes, colours and
finishes. They also extrude cornice-work and other interior detailing.
 Fermacell®
A multipurpose tough fibreboard made
from gypsum. It is reinforced
and resilient to moisture which makes
it highly durable. The material has great acoustic and thermal insulation
properties whilst being fireproof .
 Granite
Quarried Granite from the UK, available in a
range of sizes and thicknesses.
 Marble
Quarried marble from the UK, available
in a range of sizes and thicknesses.
 Rastra®
This material is essentially a customisable
breeze-block or lightweight concrete. It achieves this lightness by
the cement compound being foamed along with a dosage of small foam
chips which are added during the moulding stage. These weight saving
measures also help to reduce the amount of material that is actually
being consumed allowing the designer to achieve more with less.
 Slate
Quarried slate from the UK, available
in a range of sizes and slab thicknesses.
 Terrazzo
A huge range of terrazzo made from reconstituted
stone, glass and a cementitous binder. Each piece is then milled to
give it a smooth polished surface. Much of the stone and glass used
in these terrazzo are reclaimed.
