Materials Bank

Over the years I have come across a number of innovative materials which are disrupting the construction industry in the best way possible. The below is a live list of those materials, to be updated continously to become an informal ‘materials ideas bank’.

I have been fortunate enough to use a number of these on projects, which I have highlighted below with an asterisk.
