Housing chiefs build new relationship


with Porotherm Some of the UK’s most influential property professionals have been learning about the benefits of Porotherm, the precision clay block walling system from Wienerberger. Mark Clare, group chief executive of Barratt Developments, tried his hand at laying the lightweight honeycombed blocks during a trial at the Porotherm training centre in Longbridge. Mr Clare was invited to try out the system alongside Andy Peters, managing director of the Barratt Homes Mercia division, and a number of other directors, as part of a programme to introduce the product to potential customers in the construction industry and demonstrate its potential to dramatically reduce construction times. Ideal for use as the internal leaf of a cavity wall, the Porotherm system offers construction times up to five times faster than traditional masonry laying. Although tried and tested on the Continent, the virtually dry, thin joint solution is a relatively new concept in the UK. For more information visit www.wienerberger.co.uk.
