We have previously outlined here the importance Padstones as an essential component in modern block and brick construction projects, protecting the wall beneath from crushing weight transferred through load-bearing elements above. With architectural designs creating ever more imaginative living and working spaces the demands for appropriate corner padstones to support these new designs has increased dramatically. That’s where KPC can shine… with corner padstones!

Terracotta Style Wall and Pier Coping – How to get it
The power of the internet never fails to amaze me. Even more so, the power of images on the internet.

Window Sill Supports with Thermal Isolation
KPC has always been strong on engineered solutions. We pride ourselves on being able to adapt our standard building components or to produce new custom components as required.

Precast Concrete Coping Demand Increase
There is definitely a sense of growth and recovery in the construction industry across the UK and Ireland with The Guardian even describing the industry in party mood at the close of 2015 (theguardian.com/business/). We have seen the evidence for ourselves with a precast concrete coping demand increase amongst other things. Continue reading
Standard Concrete Kerbs – Above Standard Durability
I recently got my driveway re-surfaced. It was really starting to get on my nerves because no matter how neatly I kept the drive and surrounding grass, it never looked finished. I was determined to give the drive a proper finished look, so the only option to my mind meant it had to be lined with Precast Concrete Kerbs. Continue reading
