"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. Discover more about these magnificent creatures, their new habitat and our partnership with Chester Zoo here 👉 https://bit.ly/3vzfS5h #Conservation #Partnership #ChesterZoo #WienerbergerUK

She’s coming. ❄️ We’ve already seen the first signs of winter creeping around the corner. But that doesn't have to spell trouble for exterior paving. It's perfectly compatible with standard de-icing salts, ensuring safety and accessibility even in frosty conditions. Any resulting discoloration from these salts is temporary and will fade with the return of warmer weather. You can learn more about how to maintain clay paving and keep it pristine all year around here 👉 https://bit.ly/47VVBpy #Landscaping #ClayPavers #wienerbergerUK

Blue engineering bricks are traditionally used in civil engineering and are most suitable for applications where strength and water absorption are important, but aesthetics are not. Examples of situations where engineering bricks are used include groundworks, manholes, sewers, retaining walls, and damp-proof courses. However, we can also provide a unique and stand-out aesthetic to your building design using blue facing bricks. But you should remember that there are important differences between engineering bricks and facing bricks in terms of appearance. Discover more about engineering bricks, their applications, and distinctions between facing bricks here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gCsSqJSs   *Note - images 1-2 are of facing bricks and images 3-8 are of engineering bricks. 📸 1-2 credit to ZRP Architects #EngineeringBricks #CivilEngineering #ArchitectureDesign #wienerbergerUK

Copperleaf, designed by Psyte Architects and delivered by Praxis Estates, is a project sought to create a home that feels both contemporary and deeply connected to its environment, making use of natural materials and traditional forms while prioritising sustainability and energy efficiency. The roofing system was chosen not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its performance and sustainability credentials. The system included interlocking tiles that provided a coordinated and tidy finish, enhancing the roof’s durability while minimising material waste during installation.
