bricks are now produced in Canning
Vale by Advanced Concrete Technologies,
a 100% Australian company.
Ecobricks are perfect for the West Australian
conditions. It is so important that internal walls
are not only strong, but have the capacity to insulate against extremes in temperature, while acting as a buffer against noise at the same time.

Timbercrete
WA
Timbercrete is
amazingly environmentally friendly
all the way from its raw ingredients
through to its everyday use. Its main
ingredient is recycled timber waste
(cellulose), so no tree has ever been
cut down specifically to make Timbercrete. The bricks are air dried, which is vastly more energy efficient than the conventional kiln dried process of clay bricks. Incredibly, Timbercrete greatly reduces your carbon footprint by actually trapping the carbon that would normally end up as greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. On top of all this, its fantastic insulation qualities mean Timbercrete homes are energy efficient throughout the year.
