"Ghosts of the Mountains”: Wienerberger help create Himalayan habitat for Chester Zoo’s snow leopards. 🐆 ❄️ In partnership with the globally recognised Chester Zoo, Wienerberger has played a critical role in a significant conservation effort: creating a new habitat for one of the planet's most elusive and majestic creatures, the snow leopard. Chester Zoo recently welcomed Yashin and Nubra, a pair of playful and inquisitive 18-month-old leopards, who have been carefully matched as part of a vital conservation breeding programme, with the hope that one day they will have cubs of their own. They've already hit it off in their stunning new Himalayan habitat, after leaving Krefeld Zoo in Germany and Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland respectively.

The colour of bricks significantly impacts the overall appearance and feel of a project. Facing bricks come in a wide range of colours, from warm, rich reds to bold black and striking white. The colour of clay bricks is determined by the chemical and mineral composition of the raw materials, the firing temperature, and the atmosphere inside the kiln. These factors all influence the final colour tone, resulting in a diverse array of clay brick colours available.

Nestled in the heart of Keswick, within the Lake District National Park, this re-roofing project presented a unique challenge for Castles & Coasts Housing Association and the contractors at DLP SERVICES (NORTHERN) LIMITED.

In a first event of its kind wienerberger brought together different stakeholders from the industry to discuss the future of roofing! This created a unique opportunity to bring together insights and experience, from our roofing contractors, specialist roofing merchants and housing developers, to help shape the future of our industry. wienerberger organised two customer-focused networking events in East Lothian, Scotland, and Burton on Trent, England. During these events, a wide range of topics were discussed, including decarbonisation, new product innovations, and an industry challenges and opportunities workshop which we held in collaboration with the NFRC. Both events were a great success, providing us with valuable insights from our customers and partners. We are delighted to have received such positive feedback from those who attended and look forward to continuing this partnership with our customers. #Roofing #RoofingSolutions #ConstructionUK #wienerbergerUK

We are delighted that our donation of bricks and roof tiles contributed to establishing a new community sports hub in the beautiful Peak District National Park. ⚽ The new facilities at Glossop North End Community Club significantly boost sports in the local area and provide an inclusive and welcoming environment for women and girls, along with increased opportunities for everyone to play. This development features a fantastic 3G pitch named after Ellen White MBE, honouring her contribution to the Lionesses' victory in the UEFA Women’s EURO trophy in 2022. It also includes a two-team changing pavilion. The project has been made possible thanks to a £1.55 million grant from the Premier League, The FA, and the Government’s Football Foundation. We operate a brick factory on Windmill Lane in Denton and a quarry in Glossop, and we have donated over 16,000 bricks and 3,400 roof tiles to help create this community space. We have been running Mouselow Quarry in Dinting, Glossop, since the 1990s and aim to support community projects close to our operations. #SocialImpact #ConstructionUK #wienerbergerUK

Didsbury Park, a prestigious Manchester suburb, dispelled the myth that planners will not approve bespoke, contemporary design in conservation areas. Cheshire-based Edmunds Architects designed two detached zero-carbon homes sitting beside grade II listed buildings. These homes combine brick detailing, charred timber cladding, and bay windows to offer a modern interpretation of a traditional family home.
