Herefordshire stands at the forefront of sustainable construction, with a rich heritage of environmental leadership and ambitious plans for a greener future. As a local business, Merchant701 plays a crucial role in supporting the county’s sustainability journey by providing innovative materials that match our region’s environmental ambitions.
Our county’s commitment to sustainable building runs deep. Architectural firms like Architype have demonstrated what’s possible through sustainable office conversions and designing groundbreaking Passivhaus-standard buildings like the Herefordshire Archive and Records Centre.
To ensure we continue to meet and exceed our sustainability targets, we’re supplying revolutionary products like Kenoteq’s K-BRIQ and K-SLIP to transform how our country builds, creates and designs. These BBA-certified ultra-low-carbon materials transform nearly 100% recycled construction and demolition waste into high-performance construction, landscape and interior products.
Available in 12 colours, the applications are extensive across Herefordshire’s diverse built environment. The K-SLIP, for example, gives a surface appearance of a brick but with significantly less volume, weight and carbon, making them suitable for external facades, offsite and modular construction as well as standout interior designs.
K-BRIQs offer architects and self-build enthusiasts aesthetic flexibility, without environmental compromise. For landscapers supporting our county’s biodiversity goals, the naturally perforated bricks create insect hotels while delivering superior durability.
By reimagining waste streams as valuable resources for landscaping and building projects, Kenoteq’s award-winning products are now highly sought after in the UK and internationally. Nominated for this year’s Earthshot Prize, the global environmental accolade launched by Prince William and David Attenborough, the products are now highly sought after in the UK and internationally. Merchant701 is supplying materials that enable the county’s sustainable future, one project at a time. To explore your material requirements, email [email protected] or call 01432 375 510.
