Introducing the EPD Carbon Summary Guide!

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are becoming an increasingly important source of information for architects, specifiers, contractors and housebuilders.

To make that information easier to understand, we've created a new EPD Carbon Summary Guide.

The guide brings together the Forterra clay bricks currently covered by EPDs, alongside key product information and environmental impact tables, giving you a practical reference in one place.

Whether you're at the early stages of specification or looking for environmental data to support a project, it's a useful resource to have on hand.

How do you deliver a traditional brick façade on a 33-storey building in the heart of Birmingham?

Crown Place, a new student accommodation scheme, presented a number of challenges. With 814 student bedrooms and a 33-storey tower, delivering a brick façade at this scale required a different approach.

The solution was Forterra’s SureBrick Brick Slip System, with more than 540,000 Medway Blend brick slips applied to prefabricated façade panels in a controlled factory environment before being transported to site.

This offsite approach helped simplify installation at height while retaining the traditional appearance of a brick-built façade.

The finished development combines a striking brick exterior with extensive student accommodation and communal spaces, creating a new addition to Birmingham’s city centre.

Want to find out more about how the project came together?

At Forterra, restoring and responsibly managing former quarry sites is an important part of our commitment to protecting and enhancing biodiversity.

This year's 48-hour BioBlitz at Kings D**e Nature Reserve provides another encouraging measure of that progress. Volunteers and wildlife experts identified a record 1,010 species, including 72 species never before recorded at the reserve, while also achieving the site's highest-ever moth count.

The annual BioBlitz plays an important role in monitoring biodiversity, helping us understand how habitats are developing and informing future conservation work. Today, around 3,400 species have been recorded at Kings D**e – demonstrating what's possible through long-term habitat restoration and stewardship.

As Tim Darling, Head of Land & Mineral Resources at Forterra, says:

"Kings D**e demonstrates how restored mineral sites can become thriving ecosystems that deliver lasting benefits for nature."

Building inspiring spaces for future generations.

Educational buildings are designed to serve communities for decades, making the choice of construction materials more important than ever.

From schools to universities and community buildings, the right material choices help create spaces that people are proud to use every day.

We're proud to have played a part in a project that will support learning and community life for many years to come.

Respecting the past. Designing for the future.

That's exactly what makes Napiershall Street a deserving finalist in the Urban Regeneration category at the 2026 BDA Brick Awards.

This impressive Glasgow development has transformed a former school and its neglected surroundings into a vibrant residential community, demonstrating how thoughtful regeneration can preserve heritage while creating places for modern living.

The new residential building complements the restored sandstone school through carefully considered material choices. Forterra's Farmstead Antique brick, together with bespoke brick specials, helps create a contemporary architectural expression that sits comfortably alongside the historic building.

Congratulations to Collective, Properties and the wider project team on this well-deserved recognition.

Thoughtful design. Strong placemaking. Award recognition.

Greenholme Street has earned its place on the shortlist for the Medium Housing Development (26-100 units) category at this year's BDA Brick Awards.

Rather than simply delivering new homes, the development creates a genuine sense of place. Inspired by Glasgow's traditional tenement architecture, it combines contemporary design with welcoming communal spaces to create a neighbourhood that feels connected to its surroundings.

Material choice plays an important role in bringing that vision to life. Forterra's Granite Ash and Bamford Blend bricks provide texture, warmth and depth across the façades, helping create a development with a distinctive identity that will stand the test of time.

Congratulations to Collective, Homes Ltd, &P Bricklaying Services Ltd and everyone involved in this fantastic project. It's great to see your work recognised.

Three nominations. One remarkable restoration.

Chelsea Waterfront – Powerhouse has been shortlisted in three categories at the 2026 BDA Brick Awards, recognising one of the UK's most impressive examples of heritage-led regeneration.

🏆 Urban Regeneration
🏆 Refurbishment
🏆 Craftsmanship

Originally built in 1904 as Lots Road Power Station, the Grade II listed landmark has been carefully restored and adapted for modern living while retaining the industrial character that has defined the Thames waterfront for more than a century.

A carefully considered approach to brickwork conservation was central to the project. Forterra's London Brick Common Bricks were selected alongside reclaimed bricks to ensure repairs blended seamlessly with the original masonry, helping preserve the building's distinctive character for future generations.

Congratulations to Architects , , Property Group, and everyone involved in bringing this exceptional building back to life. To receive recognition across three award categories is a fantastic achievement.
