Our UK Director, Penny, recently attended the inaugural meeting of Cumbria Action for Sustainability Business Supporter Network, & we’re proud to support this local Cumbrian initiative. The network aims to unite businesses across the county to accelerate the journey toward a climate-resilient, sustainable Cumbria. The meeting took place at Base Camp Farm Shop & Cafe, & home to Alpacaly Ever After’s award-winning social enterprise, with 200 alpacas and llamas, and a new community garden. It was an inspiring venue for the first meeting, though the llamas couldn’t resist photo-bombing Penny! #Sustainability #Cumbria

We were delighted to have had the opportunity to support Technological University Dublin by providing Finsa Fibrapan Tech RWH E-Z boards for an inspiring student project! These boards were used for the roof deck of a Finsa cross-laminated timber (CLT) mass timber structure, built by Year 3 and 4 students of the BSc Sustainable Timber Technology course. Joined by 13 apprentice carpenters from Germany, they erected the innovative structure, demonstrating sustainable, low-carbon construction and circularity in action. This project was part of the future Broombridge Design & Construct Centre. #Finsa Fibrapan Tech RWH E-Z is a breathable fibreboard that provides structural rigidity to framed construction.

Beautiful stone-walled barn transformed into a stunning kitchen extension! 🤩 75mm of #Diathonite #Thermactive cork-lime insulating plaster was applied to the internal walls. By using #Diasen insulating plaster, the original character of the barn with its curves and corners, remained a feature of the renovated space. DMB Building Ltd. did a fantastic job on this incredible barn revival. DIASEN | Certified B Corp #InsulatingPlaster #BarnRenovation #TraditionalBuilding

We were thrilled with the enthusiasm and positive feedback from all our delegates at yesterday’s inaugural in-person event and training session for ‘Natural Fibre Insulation Week 2024,’ held at our Carlisle base. Organised in partnership with the Alliance for Sustainable Building Products (ASBP) and supported by the ASBP Natural Fibre Insulation Group, it was a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness regionally across the UK. As proud members of both organisations, we were delighted to support this initiative. Our attendees, including architects, homeowners, contractors, housing associations, trainers, and housebuilders, left with a deeper understanding of the many benefits of natural fibre insulation—it's about much more than just U-values!  Our team worked so hard to make the event the success it was – big thanks to everyone. #NFIWeek2024 #ASBP #NaturalInsulation Cumbria Action for Sustainability Alliance for Sustainable Building Products
