A new report published by Build It reviews our approach to sustainable building and provides recommendations on the way forwards.
Working with Parry Associates, we have piloted ‘waffle’ flooring technology. This is a technique using the same hand powered machine as for Parry Roof Tiles but creating large hollow blocks that are laid next to each other – like a giant waffle. The gaps are filled in with concrete. A floor made this way is as strong as concrete slabs but uses 40% less material.
