• Sustainability

QUINN energy Wind Farm Slieve Rushen, Derrylin, Co. Fermanagh

The manufacturing process of QUINN lite Thermal blocks is designed to promote sustainability, both before and after the blocks leave the yard.

Factors which help minimise QUINN lite's impact on the environment and enhances the products low carbon footprint include:

• Raw materials and labour are sourced locally.
• Pulverised Fuel Ash used in manufacture is a waste material from power stations.
• 365,000 gallons of water per hour used in the sand washing process is recycled.
• Fine sands captured in the water recycling process are used in production.
• Steam used in autoclaves is condensed back into water. Lighter material results in less energy consumption during haulage.
• Electricity used in the manufacturing process is generated from local wind farm.

The inherent insulation properties of QUINN lite thermal blocks can significantly reduce energy consumption in buildings, thus reducing CO2 emissions.
