As a leading manufacturer of concrete and masonry products, Lignacite has one of the most efficient and modern manufacturing sites in the U.K. The company has become renowned for its range of specialist facing masonry, and has a long established range of standard blocks.

Lignacite is setting standards for sustainable and environmentally sensitive manufacturing. Curing chambers re-use heat given off by the exothermic reaction between cement and water. When additional heat is needed, gas emissions are pumped back into the chambers, where blocks absorb CO2. All water used at Brandon comes from a borehole on site, and is recycled at up to 5000 gallons / hour. Sand and aggregate quarried on land adjacent to the plant will save around 36,000 lorry journeys over the period of extraction, the land being restored on an annual basis for wildlife conservation.

All products conform to BS EN 771-3 Aggregate Concrete Masonry Units and are manufactured under a quality assurance scheme certified to BS EN 9001:2000.

Lignacite’s Facing Masonry offers a cost-effective alternative to natural materials.

Original Facing Masonry combines inherent, decorative appeal with strength and durability in a range of finishes, thicknesses and strengths, in solid, hollow and cellular form.

Premier Facing Masonry combines a smooth, close textured, decorative finish with a fine texture to create a clean, crisp edge that enhances design details.

Weathered Facing Masonry has a flat surface with a fine natural aggregate texture which is emphasised to produce a softly rounded, almost pre-weathered finish.

Lignacite’s Standard range of medium density, load bearing blocks is used for plastering, rendering and painting. Recycled materials are used as aggregates where possible. In our unique, ’Lignacite’ block, graded wood particles provide excellent acoustic performance and the robustness of a dense block. Other recycled materials used include furnace bottom ash, glass and china clay sand.
