ECO CONCRETE PRODUCTS:
Concrete is a very versatile and stable building material. For this reason, it is the second most widely used resource in the world after water. Low carbon concrete (LCC) is an improvement on normal concrete.
Like normal concrete, you get the benefits of fire resistance, sound/noise insulation, thermal mass, ease of construction and availability. LCC, however, is much greener (environmentally friendly), stronger, more durable, lighter in colour and better looking than normal concrete.
LCC can last over twice as long in aggressive environments such as those found on farms or in marine environments.

At John Gannon concrete we use recycled aggregates which are compliant with IS EN 12620: 2013 which utilizes waste from industry destined for landfill, this reduces the carbon footprint of our concrete products with our reduced usage of virgin material.
In addition to this we also use low carbon cement which incorporates ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS) to replace 50% of traditional carbon intensive cement in our concrete products. As well as the reduction in CO2, low carbon concrete products have many technical and architectural benefits.
